Why Choose This Course
With IT playing a dominant role in today’s society, people with sound computer skills are always in demand. Whether you want to break into IT or you’re simply looking to update your computer skills and upgrade your appeal to employers, our courses make a great place to start.
Training is delivered in stages which correspond to AQF Levels IV-VI. The preferred pathway is for students to complete the various lower level qualifications which culminate in the higher qualification; i.e. Certificate IV before commencing the Diploma. Students who follow this pathway therefore achieve more than one qualification. Direct Entry to these courses is also possible. Please refer to the text below.
