Upon completion, learners will be able to analyse IT and cloud infrastructure for security operations, monitor environments and handle incidents end to end, apply governance, risk and compliance principles, implement protective controls and vulnerability management, and assess the threat landscape and adversary techniques. Delivery: 100% live online (synchronous virtual classes), part-time over approximately 4 months. Total course hours: 150. Class frequency: 3 days per week, 3 hours per session, 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM (Singapore time). Each module runs 10 sessions (9 teaching + 1 assessment). Minimum entry requirements: at least 21 years old; at least C6 at GCE 'O' Level in any 3 subjects (or equivalent); or a mature candidate at least 25 years old with at least 4 years of working experience. This is a stackable modular programme — modular certificates stack towards the full Advanced Certificate.
