What are the best free online diploma courses in security?

The Diploma in Computer Networking will give you a solid grounding in the architecture and protocols used in network security. Learn about local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs) and the equipment needed for an efficient and secure computer network.

Alison’s Diploma in Risk Management provides training in identifying, assessing and managing finacial risk - a must for all businesses post the 2008 financial crisis.
How long is a security management course?
Alison’s courses range from two to three hours for short topics to 20 to 30 hours for more complex subjects. Shorter courses can usually be completed in the morning, afternoon or evening so they don’t interrupt your day-to-day life. Longer courses can be worked on over a few days, or you can dedicate a whole weekend to passing your course assessment - as always, the choice is yours, and you are never locked into an external schedule or timetable.
Short courses are helpful if you are already qualified in an area and need a refresher or to pick up new information. They are also practical if you aren’t sure if a field or industry is right for you, as you can quickly get a feel for it without investing too much time.
Longer courses are helpful once you are interested in a subject or want to make it your career or livelihood. They give you a deeper understanding of the topic and allow you to immerse yourself in true mastery.
Most of our learners combine shorter and longer courses as they find capacity in their busy lives.
