Technical Courses

Technical courses are organised twice a year by the Centre with an aim to bring together and train computer and network security specialists. In general, students should have a good background in information technology either from studies, practical experiences or both. On the other hand these individuals do not have to be professional pen-testers or practitioners with years of experience.
