How you'll learn
100 % online training on the SEIUM Institute campus, with downloadable material, recorded classes and an assigned technical tutor. There are no fixed timetables: students progress at their own pace within the intake, which makes it possible to combine the programme with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Wireshark, GNS3, Nmap, Zeek, pfSense, in free, academic or evaluation versions. The tests are studied through real procedures in virtualised network laboratories, network configuration audits, traffic analysis and intrusion detection. Assessment is continuous per module plus the final integrative project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Describe the network standardisation process at IEEE and IETF.
Configure security mechanisms at the link layer.
Apply secure protocols at the network and transport layers.
Design a segmented, defence-in-depth network architecture.
Monitor traffic to detect anomalies and intrusions.
Where this takes you
Requirements
- No prior qualification is required.
- Internet connection and a computer capable of running the programme's software.
- A sufficient level of Spanish to follow technical standards documentation.

Frequently asked questions
The programme consists of 300 hours in total, spread over 3 to 5 months. That is between 10 and 15 hours per week on average, compatible with a full-time job.
You will work with Wireshark, GNS3, Nmap, Zeek, pfSense. Free, academic or evaluation versions are used, and the tutor indicates the free alternative where one exists.
A SEIUM Institute diploma upon passing the continuous assessment and the integrative project. It is in-house training, not an official qualification from the Ministry.
Yes. Modules passed in a course or Postgraduate Diploma in the same area are recognised in the higher programme. Check the recognition policy when you enrol.
