Programme

  • Phase 1 | In the first phase, we lay a solid foundation. You’ll learn several programming languages, set up a simple network and take your first steps into the world of security. In the second semester, you’ll get to work independently and can really let your creativity run wild on a project of your own choosing.
  • Phase 2 | In this phase, we’ll ensure that no network holds any secrets from you. Among other things, we’ll take a deep dive into virtualisation, the major trend and game-changer that has fundamentally transformed the IT world.
  • Phase 3 | In phase 3, we’ll tackle the issue of security against spam, viruses, malware and hacking, as well as other threats. You’ll delve into setting up all kinds of advanced services, both locally and in the cloud. This course will turn you into a flexible and sought-after ‘Young ICT professional’!
