Testimonials

“Even though I’ve been working on my field for more than 10 years, I was un able to get a job according to my background and my expectations. After the program finished I secured a position as Tech Lead – Call Centre Architect in one of the 3 big telecom Canadian companies. If it weren’t for the bridging program it would have taken longer for me to get the skills I needed to reach my full potential and step up my career”

Domingo Los Santos, Tech Lead - Call Centre Architect

"The good news is that I secured employment even before I graduated! I was interviewed during Humber’s bridging job fair, received a job offer, and started my employment. It happened because Humber’s job developers held an employment event for the bridging students."

Sergio Smith Gomez, Infrastructure Specialist

This course is designed to provide students with an understanding of IoT technology and the practical skills required to create, deploy, and manage IoT systems at an entry level. IoT is the network of physical objects and devices embedded with sensors, software, and network connectivity, enabling them to collect and exchange data. This Micro-Credential will provide a base for learners to jumpstart their process to in-depth learning of Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) and IoT connected devices both in front and backend development. Learners will actually build their own Internet of Things network in their home environment.

This course focuses on the theory and practical aspects of Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) operating system software. It begins with the installation of RHEL 7 in a virtual machine, and then touches upon general Linux concepts and basic commands; compression and archiving; text editor and online help; file and directory manipulation and security; processes, task scheduling, and bash shell features. The course then covers typical system administration tasks, such as administration and management of software packages; system boot and systemd; logging and kernel management; users and groups; storage partitioning and file systems; AutoFS, swap, and ACLs; basic firewall and SELinux; network interface configuration and NTP/LDAP clients; and SSH and TCP Wrappers. The entire course is filled with exercises to provide adequate hands-on practice.

Cloud infrastructure supports users to store data, manage resources and access one or more platforms for data processing. All the resources are acquired and managed on demand. It is built around using complex hardware infrastructure for computing, network and storage. This infrastructure supports data processing on different hardware and operating platforms, various services are offered by servers, storage support, networking and data management. This course provides the learners opportunity to simulate a real world scenario working on storage area network in virtual environment. This course also introduces the SDNs in the virtualized environment.

This course introduces the architecture, structure, functions, components and models of the Internet and other computer networks, and the operations of routers and switches in a network. It teaches learners how to describe and configure a LAN switch, VLANS and ether channels. Describe various types of spanning tree protocol with operation and configuration. This course also describe how to operate, configure, and verify a IPv4 and IPv6 networks, including configuring of various IP protocols, RIP, EIGRP and OSPF, understanding BGP and redundant topologies with redistribution, troubleshooting common network issues. This course also introduce various IP and WAN services, understanding VPN and MPLS connecting technologies, IPv6 addressing and getting familiar with device management such as SNMP and syslog.

This course provides hands-on training in vSphere 6 and components. This course involves installation, configuration and management of vSphere 6, virtual machines and virtual center. Students will receive theoretical and hands-on training in designing, maintaining and troubleshooting VMware virtual environments. The course is based on ESXi 6 and vCenter Server 6.

This course will provide students with knowledge of labour market trends, professional portfolio development, workplace culture and communication in Canada.
