Before you decide
Does cloud replace the physical network?
The two work together, and the programme covers them jointly: addressing, routing, hardening, then hosted services and monitoring. It is the combination that is in demand.
Do I need to know how to program?
A grounding in automation helps a great deal, and it is taught. The core of the role remains infrastructure and its availability.
Are vendor certifications prepared?
Teaching covers principles and practices, which hold whatever the equipment. That foundation is what makes a vendor certification accessible afterwards.
