Course Requirements

  • Student must attend live interactive live sessions for  collaborative learning, 2 hrs on Tuesday and  Thursday afternoons. Video recordings are used as revision tools only and are not a substitution for  sessions attendance and interaction.
  • Students must have an internet-connected computer with webcam and microphone.
  • Students must have their webcam on and speak to other students using their microphone. 
  • To demonstrate the ability to meet deadlines, students will be expected to hand in one practical assignment per week - completed in their own time - in addition to the interactive sessions. Up to 1 hour per task.

 

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.
