All Practical. No Essays.

Every task is a real task you will use as an IT engineer in your first-ever IT job, such as:

Understanding and building computer software and hardware solutions
Developing your critical and creative thinking skills
Finding solutions and deploying protection for end users against hacking

Choose your own job role.

IT is not a one size fits all industry. There are software programmers who can work alone writing code in dark rooms until the wee hours and there are those who love the outdoors to just roll out and maintain the NBN.

Then there are the IT project managers whose sole job is to ensure teams with different IT skill sets work together to create a master network, or resolve systems issues.

You can even decide to become a neurosurgeon and do this course just so you are not a the mercy of junior technicians who are too busy to attend to your issue right away!

Last but not least there is AI and cyber security, the list goes on...

Team work

Vocational training is not all about books. It helps you learn how to work with others: one task is team collaboration to sit together, discuss solutions to a problem based on one's role and expertise in the organisation, and follow up after deployment to ensure the solution is a success.

This course starts with a 2 day hands-on Intensive at (or near) our Brisbane school HQ where you get to touch and work on hardware used by large multi-million dollar corporations, meet with your fellow course students, and build relationships for the team collaboration task.

Required Equipment

The student must be a currently enrolled student in Faith Christian School for year 10, 11 or 12.

The student will require an internet-connected Windows OS based laptop or desktop computer with a webcam, microphone and sound running Google Chrome web browser in order to successfully complete the units for this qualification. (Please note that Mac OS, Chrome OS and Linux OS based computers are not compatible with some of the unit tasks and therefore cannot be the student's main computer.)

A camera or smartphone will be required to take photos and videos as evidence of practical tasks completed. These recordings must also clearly show the student doing the task.

Students will also be provided with a package at the intensive. The package will contain a loan computer system that will be used in the first two terms - one monitor, one mouse, one keyboard and one display cable. These are strictly loan devices for the purpose of this Certificate III course as the students' second computer (so no irrevocable changes are made on the student's own, main computer). The only cost involved is postage for the return of the package at the end of Term 2.
