Advanced Diploma in CCNA, MCSE, Linux, Cloud & Cybersecurity

🔹 1. Networking Fundamentals & CCNA Concepts

Understand how computer networks work — from the ground up.
You’ll learn about switches, routers, VLANs, IP addressing, routing protocols, and how devices talk across networks. You'll also configure Cisco routers and switches using CLI (Command Line Interface), preparing you for the CCNA certification.
Key Concepts: OSI & TCP/IP models, VLANs, NAT, ACLs, static/dynamic routing, IP subnetting.
Hands-On: Configure real or simulated Cisco devices with Packet Tracer or GNS3.

🔹 2. IP Addressing & Subnetting Deep Dive

Master IPv4 and IPv6 addressing like a pro.
Learn how to break down networks into subnets, plan addressing schemes, and understand how data finds its way through a network. This is a vital skill for any networking, cloud, or security role.
Key Concepts: CIDR, VLSM, binary math, subnet planning.
Hands-On: Design and calculate subnets for small and large networks.

🔹 3. Windows Server & Active Directory with ADFS

Build and manage enterprise-grade Windows networks.
You'll work with Windows Server, set up Active Directory, manage users and groups, and implement ADFS (Active Directory Federation Services) to enable Single Sign-On and identity federation across domains and cloud platforms.
Key Concepts: Domain controllers, Group Policy, DNS, ADFS, identity federation.
Hands-On: Build a mini domain network, implement ADFS integration.

🔹 4. Linux Administration & Shell Scripting

Get hands-on with Linux — a DevOps and cloud essential.
Learn how to navigate, manage, and secure Linux systems. You’ll understand file systems, user permissions, service management, and scripting for automation.
Key Concepts: Linux file system, permissions, services, bash scripting.
Hands-On: Configure users, automate tasks with shell scripts, manage services.

🔹 5. Cloud Computing with AWS & Microsoft Azure

Step into the world of cloud — the future of IT.
Understand how cloud platforms like AWS and Azure work. You’ll deploy virtual machines, manage storage, configure networks, and secure your cloud environment.
Key Concepts: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS, EC2, S3, VPC, IAM, Azure VMs, Azure AD.
Hands-On: Launch VMs in AWS & Azure, secure with IAM roles, create virtual networks.

🔹 6. DevOps & CI/CD Pipelines

Deliver faster and smarter using DevOps tools and principles.
Understand how software moves from development to deployment using pipelines. You’ll explore tools like Git, Jenkins, GitHub Actions, Terraform, and Azure DevOps to automate testing, building, and deploying software and infrastructure.
Key Concepts: DevOps lifecycle, CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, automation.
Hands-On: Create and run a basic CI/CD pipeline, deploy infrastructure with Terraform.

🔹 7. Cybersecurity Fundamentals & CEH Introduction

Protect systems, networks, and data from attacks.
Gain insight into how hackers think, and how to secure systems using real-world tools and techniques. You’ll explore ethical hacking based on the CEH v10 framework, including scanning, vulnerabilities, and exploit simulation.
Key Concepts: CIA triad, firewalls, IDS/IPS, malware, CEH hacking phases.
Hands-On: Perform basic scans with Nmap, simulate attacks in a safe lab.

🔹 8. Cloud Security & Identity Protection

Security for modern cloud-first infrastructures.
Learn how to secure data, users, and services in cloud environments. Explore tools and policies like IAM, Zero Trust, SSO, and multi-factor authentication. Understand how to prevent data leaks, manage access, and respond to incidents.
Key Concepts: Cloud security shared model, IAM, Zero Trust, encryption, cloud compliance.
Hands-On: Implement IAM policies in AWS, secure APIs, simulate a basic breach and response.

🔹 9. Integration Projects & Capstone

Put everything together in a real-world scenario.
Build a multi-tier cloud environment, configure network and security policies, automate deployments, and ensure secure access — all in one guided mini-project.
Example Project:
Deploy a secure web application on AWS/Azure using Linux, automate with CI/CD pipeline, secure with firewalls, IAM & ADFS integration.
