91视频 selects electives from the national training package that focus on providing relevant training for each specialist career outcome. These are divided into two study streams from Certificate IV level: Network Administration (including Cyber Security) or Programming and Web Applications. Students can also elect to study the Certificate IV in Cyber Security (22603VIC). The Certificate III course is designed to provide fundamental skills across both study pathway options.

If you are interested in Programming and Web Applications, you can complete the Certificate IV in Information Technology (ICT40120) without prior experience. Full-time students will engage in a diverse range of coding languages from the beginning. If you don鈥檛 have web design or coding experience, you might prefer starting with this course or the Statement of Attainment in Networking and Web Development.

Entry Requirements

There are no required entry requirements, however, it is recommended that you have a basic understanding of using computers, MS Windows environments, document production and internet browser use.

This course is primarily aimed at students wishing to undertake full-time studies and timetables are geared towards daytime classes.
