Course in Digital Infrastructure in Ports and Airports — studying from Canada
Canada's infrastructure needs drive significant civil engineering activity, from highways and bridges to urban transit and water systems. Major transit projects in Toronto, Montréal, Vancouver and Calgary involve rail, tunnelling and smart city technologies. Rail operators and suppliers, including Canadian Pacific Kansas City and Canadian National, depend on engineering expertise in track, signalling and structures. Provincial ministries of transportation and municipal engineering departments are key employers, alongside consulting firms.
Fees for Canada: 1,240 CA$ (Canadian dollar), with instalments and employer sponsorship available.

How you'll learn
100% online training on the SEIUM 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 course with work.
Each module combines theory, guided reading of the original standard and applied exercises. The working software is Cisco Packet Tracer, Atoll, Wireshark, Zabbix, Microsoft Visio, in free, academic or evaluation versions. Tests are studied using real procedures for designing communication networks in large sites, systems integration architecture, and continuity and recovery planning. Assessment is continuous by module, plus the final integrating project.
Build it end to end
Your final project follows the real engineering workflow, step by step, reviewed by your tutor.
Understand the layers of digital infrastructure in ports and airports.
Design communication networks suited to large sites.
Define platform architectures and systems integration.
Ensure the cybersecurity and resilience of critical services.
Plan the operation and lifecycle of technology assets.
