[Home](https://www.hubspot.com/) - Courses - Advanced Diploma of Information Technology #### Description This qualification reflects the role of individuals in a variety of information and communications technology (ICT) roles who have significant experience in specialist technical skills, or managerial business and people management skills. Individuals in these roles carry out complex tasks in a specialist field, working independently, leading a team or a strategic direction of a business. They apply their skills across a wide range of industries and business functions, or as a business owner (sole trader/contractor). The skills required for these roles may include, but are not restricted to: - Advanced data management information: creating, designing and monitoring complex systems that store data, and optimising organisational knowledge management. - Cyber security: protecting sensitive data and information through security architecture, and developing disaster recovery and contingency plans. - Full stack web development: building advanced user interfaces, developing representational state transfer application program interfaces (REST APIs) and designing user experience solutions. - Further programming: applying advanced ICT languages to maintain security and manage data. - IT strategy and organisational development: managing and communicating strategic ICT business solutions Systems development and analysis: modelling and testing data objects, data processes and preferred ICT system solutions. - Telecommunications network engineering: managing logistics, organisational specifications, regulations and legislative requirements across network projects. #### Duration The total duration of this course covers 104 complete weeks. During this period, 90 weeks are allocated for full-time studies, while a maximum of 14 weeks are designated for breaks. It is expected that the program's duration would be shorter for students who have completed components that can be identified through Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) and/or Credit Transfer. ###### Entry Requirements While there are no entry requirements defined in the training package, AIT requires that the following criteria be met: Applicants must be a minimum of 18 years old at the time of commencement. Successful completion of an Australian Equivalent Year 12 qualification or higher is required. A minimum IELTS score of 6.0 or equivalent to 5.5 in each module. Applicants are required to have successfully completed a Pre-Training Review before enrolment. The levels of written and spoken English are assessed through an LLN test process conducted during the enrolment procedure. ###### Assessment Approach Assessment will usually commence in the session following delivery. As this is a competency-based program, assessment continues throughout the program until the participant either achieves competency in the assessment tasks or a further training need is identified and addressed. Students will be required to perform a range of assessment tasks, including but not limited to written assignments, demonstrations, role plays, assignments, and projects. Each assessment has also been mapped to the elements, performance criteria, essential skills, essential knowledge, critical aspects of evidence and employability skills for each unit of competency. Specific details of actual assessments and marking and/or assessment criteria are specified in the unit of competency information. Knowledge questions and worksheets: To assess the required knowledge Austin Institute of Trades used knowledge questions that include questions covering required knowledge and performance criteria for the unit. ###### RPL & Credit Transfer The Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) pathway is suitable for candidates who have previously acquired skills and knowledge from sources beyond the formal education and training system. This includes work and life experiences. Credit transfer is a process that offers students consistent and agreed-upon credit outcomes for specific components of a qualification. This is based on identified equivalences in content and learning outcomes between matched qualifications. Upon successful completion of an RPL or Credit Transfer (CT) application, adjustments will be made to the units to be undertaken and the course duration. In cases where RPL is granted, learners are not required to partake in additional training and assessment for skills and knowledge they already possess. ###### Delivery The training is delivered through a combination of face-to-face and simulated classroom sessions, which include interactive classroom teaching, role plays, and tutorials. **Delivery Location** Level 11, 474 Flinders St, Melbourne VIC 3000.  #### Units of Competence To achieve the Advanced diploma of Information technology qualification, candidates must complete 16 units, including 6 core units and 10 elective units, as outlined below: ###### Core units | Unit | Description | | --- | --- | | BSBCRT611 | Apply critical thinking for complex problem solving | | BSBTWK502 | Manage team effectiveness | | BSBXCS402 | Promote workplace cyber security awareness and best practices | | ICTICT608 | Interact with clients on a business level | | ICTICT618 | Manage IP, ethics and privacy in ICT environments | | ICTSAD609 | Plan and monitor business analysis activities in an ICT environment | ###### Elective units | Unit | Description | | --- | --- | | ICTICT522 | Evaluate vendor products and equipment | | ICTCYS604 | Implement best practices for identity management | | ICTCYS606 | Evaluate an organisation’s compliance with cyber security standards and law | | ICTCYS608 | Perform cyber security risk assessments | | ICTCYS612 | Design and implement virtualised cyber security infrastructure for organisations | | ICTNPL413 | Evaluate networking regulations and legislation for the telecommunications industry | | ICTNWK612 | Plan and manage troubleshooting advanced integrated IP networks | | ICTPMG613 | Manage ICT project planning | | ICTTEN615 | Manage network traffic | | ICTTEN622 | Produce ICT network architecture designs | [Apply Now](https://austin.edu.au/courses/information-technology/advanced-diploma-of-information-technology#apply) [Request Course Brochure](https://austin.edu.au/hubfs/AIT%20Advanced%20Diploma%20of%20Information%20Technology%20Flyer%20V4%20CF%203.pdf?hsLang=en-au) ##### Overview Course Code: ICT60220 CRICOS Code: 113772E Duration : 104 Weeks Course Fees: $22,250 AQF Level: 6 Language : English #### **Accreditation** - ![NRT-logo-high-res](https://austin.edu.au/hs-fs/hubfs/NRT-logo-high-res-1.png?width=1024&height=768&name=NRT-logo-high-res-1.png) Career Outcomes ## Possible Career Pathways This qualification offers a pathway to pursue a career in the IT Sector. ![slide-right](https://austin.edu.au/hubfs/slide-right.png) ##### Telecommunications Network Engineer ![slide-right](https://austin.edu.au/hubfs/slide-right.png) ##### Communications Consultant ![slide-right](https://austin.edu.au/hubfs/slide-right.png) ##### Communications Specialist (ICT) ![slide-right](https://austin.edu.au/hubfs/slide-right.png) ##### Telecommunications Consultant ![slide-right](https://austin.edu.au/hubfs/slide-right.png) ##### Telecommunications Specialist Information Technology ## Related Courses ![Business-Consulting-16-9](https://austin.edu.au/hubfs/Business-Consulting-16-9.jpg) Management & Leadership ###### Graduate Diploma of Management (Learning) - Feb 16,2022 - 12hours [Learn More](https://austin.edu.au/courses/management/graduate-diploma-of-management-learning?hsLang=en-au) ![Business-Advisor-16-9](https://austin.edu.au/hubfs/Business-Advisor-16-9.jpg) Management & Leadership ###### Graduate Diploma of Strategic Leadership - Feb 16,2022 - 12hours [Learn More](https://austin.edu.au/courses/management/graduate-diploma-of-strategic-leadership?hsLang=en-au) What's Your Next Step? ## Reach Out To Us!
