The Cyber Programme of the Royal Military College of Canada (RMC) offers a series of Professional Military Education (PME) short courses on various topics in Cyber Security. These courses are offered to members of the Canadian Armed Forces, the Department of National Defence and other government departments. All participants become enrolled in the non-credit granting Professional Certificate in Cyber Security Foundations programme.
There is no tuition for these courses, but participants or their units are responsible for arranging and defraying the costs of travel, meals and accommodations. Enrollment in these course is often over-subscribed and the RMC Cyber Programme prioritized enrollment based on the operational needs of its partners.
Please contact the course directors listed below for questions about specific courses.
Please contact the Adminsitration Officer of the Cyber Training Unit (CTU), Mrs. Raja Abaab (raja.abaab@rmc.ca) for general questions, to be included on our mailing list or to send in course nominations.

A new Cyber Security Foundations Program (CSFP) will begin in September 2024 running through the spring of 2025.
