I think very poorly of the cyber security courses offered (except NUS) in Singapore, as the things they teach are not aligned with the industry practices - either outdated or just not practical enough.

Having said that, if you have the time, I would suggest taking the SIT degree instead of the diplomas (waste of time IMO) and hopefully it provides you the fundamentals (programming, network and system administration) and be exposed to some other topics in cybersecurity.

If you are doing a career switch, I suppose you want to get up to speed fast by focusing on the need to have knowledge as a baseline. I would suggest taking the time to go through these stuff in details, setup your labs and practice the stuff

    Other wise, there are hands on courses and industry certifications that you can take online at your own pace and employers look out for such as:

  5. https://www.elearnsecurity.com/training_paths/ (eLearnSecurity is good because they have a progression path from student onwards )
  6. https://www.offensive-security.com/information-security-certifications/oscp-offensive-security-certified-professional/ (I don't encourage going for this as a starter unless you already have some fundamental knowledge and skillets for system administrations but this is highly recognised in the industry)
  7. You can also go for SANS or what not, I think it's just too expensive for my liking.

    There is no one path to becoming a good pentester. However from my observations, folks who tend to be more in demands (with or without certifications/formal educations) are those who can display the ability to learn stuff on their own. This is an industry of skills and continuous learning. For employers that pay top dollar and provide time for training, learning and research, they are looking for folks who can display those stuff through actions.
