Graduate Certificate - Cyber Security (CYGS/CYGJ)

The Graduate Certificate - Cyber Security (CYGS/CYGJ) at Loyalist College's Belleville campus is a graduate certificate that gives you a strong, career-focused education in this field.

This post-graduate program builds in-demand cybersecurity skills on top of your existing qualification — network and information security, ethical hacking, threat detection, incident response, cryptography and security operations — through hands-on labs with real tools. As cyber threats rise worldwide, skilled security professionals are highly sought after and well paid. Graduates work as cybersecurity and information-security analysts, SOC analysts and security consultants across business, government and technology.

Delivered with hands-on labs and placements at Loyalist College's Belleville campus in eastern Ontario. This program is on Loyalist's official PGWP-aligned programs list (CIP 11.1003), so graduates may qualify for a Post-Graduation Work Permit — the final decision always rests with IRCC.

Graduates are well placed for roles such as Cyber Security Analyst, Information Security Specialist and SOC Analyst, leaving with practical skills and real Canadian experience that employers value.

Beyond technical training, you will build the communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills that transfer across careers and support long-term success in Canada and beyond.

With small classes, supportive instructors and a hands-on approach, international students at Loyalist College get personal attention and a genuinely welcoming place to study.
