A TVEC (Tertiary Vocational Education Commission) approved centre for higher education, CICRA Campus has earned itself repute as the best institute for cyber security education in Sri Lanka. The distinguished campus offers varied globally recognised courses and liaises closely with renowned education providers such as Deakin University Australia and EC Council USA.
