Humber’s Information Technology Solutions graduate certificate program prepares students without an IT background to step into the IT industry.

In subsequent semesters, through a range of elective courses, students engage in practical learning in a variety of advanced IT topics including database development and administration, business intelligence, big data, data analytics, machine learning, software development, web development and mobile application development. In the final semester, students participate in an industry project supervised by a Humber industrial partner which helps students apply and enhance their IT, teamwork, interpersonal and project management skills.
