About This Diploma

Position yourself for success in IT!

As more and more companies move their infrastructure to the cloud, job openings in IT infrastructure increasingly include a requirement for cloud-computing training and experience. Such roles include systems engineer, network engineer, and database administrator.

For IT professionals the learning never stops, because the technologies we rely on are always changing and evolving. For this reason, it’s key that anyone working in or aspiring to a job in IT infrastructure develop skills in these areas:

  • Cloud platforms: Three key players in cloud infrastructure are Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. This diploma trains in all three.
  • Data storage and security: Accessing, storing, and protecting data are each essential components of cloud computing covered in this programme.
  • Networking: Having knowledge of networking basics will be valuable when integrating traditional networks with cloud services. If you do not already have a background in networking technology, consider adding Network+ or Server+ as an elective.
  • Programming: Common languages used in cloud computing include Python and Java. Consider studying one of these languages to strengthen your skillset either as an elective with us or in the future as your career in cloud computing develops.

For companies, cloud technology makes business processes faster and more efficient. The cloud improves the efficiency of backing up and storing data, and software updates can be deployed as soon as they’re ready. As a cloud engineer, your job will be to keep it all running.
