Diploma of Information Technology (Advanced Networking and Cyber Security)

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. Graduates in these roles carry out moderately complex tasks in specialist fields, working independently, as part of a team or leading deliverables 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).
Overall students will build strong background in Advanced networking (configuring and managing virtual computing environments, and security within ICT networks) and Cyber security (protecting sensitive data and information through security architecture and developing disaster recovery and contingency plans).

For entry into the Diploma level, both domestic and international students should have satisfactorily completed the equivalent of Australian Year 12 or Certificate IV or higher. However, for students with packaged courses, they should have completed the prior qualifications for entry into this qualification. The entry requirement can be met by evidence of equivalent competency to either of the above through recognition of prior learning (RPL).International students should normally be 18 years of age or above at the time of their course commencement at the Institute. For under 18 students, they should have acceptable arrangements for their accommodation, support and general welfare for the duration of the student visa or until they turn 18 (whichever happens first) as per the ESOS Act and National Code.
