ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology (Cyber Security & Networking)

Duration

Total duration 104 weeks

Qualification Description

This qualification reflects the role of individuals in a variety of information and communications technology (ICT) roles who have established specialised skills in a technical ICT function. Individuals in these roles carry out moderately complex tasks in a specialist field, working independently, as part of a team or leading a deliverable with others. They may apply their skills across a wide range of industries, business functions and departments, or as a business owner (sole trader/contractor).

The skills required for these roles may include, but are not restricted to:

• • • cyber security: protecting sensitive data and information through security architecture and developing disaster recovery and contingency plans
    • systems administration: reviewing maintenance procedures and support to help troubleshoot system applications

Academic Pathway

Training is delivered in stages which correspond to AQF Levels V. The preferred pathway for a qualification is for students to complete the requirements of the previous level qualification before progressing to the next level – thereby achieving more than one qualification. Applicants without the previous level qualification will be considered if they have relevant qualification and/or vocational experience. We aim to equip our graduates with the necessary skills and knowledge to enable them to successfully satisfy the demands of the workplace. On completion of this qualification, candidates may choose to undertake the ICT60220 Advanced Diploma of Information Technology or other Advanced Diploma qualifications from the ICT Training Package or any other training package to further enhance their career opportunities in their chosen field.
