Barcelona launches free AI and cybersecurity courses this summer

Barcelona is opening a new door this summer for people who want to update their digital skills without paying tuition fees. Cibernàrium has launched an offer of more than 100 free courses focused on areas such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and other key tools in the technological environment.

The programme is designed for very different profiles. There are introductory options for those starting from scratch and more specific workshops for professionals who need to get up to date, improve their CV or better understand how work processes are changing.

Artificial intelligence has a prominent place in the offering. The courses make it possible to explore generative tools, automation, digital productivity and practical uses that are already entering businesses, shops, creative projects and public services.

Cybersecurity will be another major focus. At a time when digital fraud, data protection and cyberattacks are part of everyday life, learning to navigate the internet more safely has become a necessity for workers, self-employed people and citizens.

The flexible format makes participation easier during the summer. Courses are offered at different times and in different formats, making it possible to combine them with work, holidays, job seeking or additional training. Places are limited and registration is open until capacity is reached.

Cibernàrium thus strengthens its role as one of Barcelona Activa's leading spaces for technological training. Its aim is not only to train specialist profiles, but to bring digital skills closer to anyone who wants to gain autonomy and opportunities.

The initiative also has an employment dimension. Demand for digital knowledge is growing across very different sectors, from administration and education to retail, communication, industry and services. Knowing how to use new tools can make a real difference in an interview, a project or a career change.

Summer thus offers Barcelona a different plan: less beach and terrace, and more useful learning for the future. At Cibernàrium, technology becomes an accessible opportunity to get up to date, overcome fear of artificial intelligence and better understand a labour market that no longer waits until September to change.
