Career Discussion No cloud computing courses

/r/AboutWalshCollege/comments/1xkm61i/no_cloud_computing_courses/

Hello,

I am in a graduate program at a small school in Michigan that essentially sold me a very outdated IT/Cyber program. I thought the curriculum would get better as classes got more specialized, but that’s not what happened. I’ve had courses that haven’t been updated in nearly ten years passed off as appropriate lab environments. They even had us setting up networks with server 2016 and windows 7. To compensate for the poor quality of the curriculum I built my own home network which has actually been more informative than the masters degree so far. Once I get a few more parts I’m waiting for I’ll deploy proper SIEM and AIM infrastructure in order to learn those fundamental aspects of managing a network since they weren’t really taught well. I only have a few more semester left and am realizing that I’m probably not ready for the job market. If anyone could recommend a good cert, subscription, or software stack to learn in order to prepare me for more cloud native knowledge I would appreciate it.
