14 years ago
General Thoughts About The Course
It will be a online course only and as such your advanced diploma upon completion. I will keep updates on when I begin!!
Course Overview
This qualification provides the skills and knowledge for an individual to be competent in high level network management and engineering. The qualification has a strong ICT networking base with the potential for inclusion of a range of broader ICT internetworking, security or e-business units to suit particular needs. One pathway into this qualification could be through the ICA05 Certificate IV in IT (Networking) and graduates of the Diploma could progress into the ICA05 network security qualification at Advanced Diploma level.

No really Tafe (it was called back then) here in Hobart was really out of date. (Wifi was starting to pop up and tafe only had stuff on 'cable' installs)
Still one thing I did lean after completing my causes, some people who get perfect marks can't do anything while others can.
FYI I'm the type who is terrible in the class room, but give me a broken computer or a real world issue and I'm one of the best students, anyway that's what the teacher said. Plus I was something like one or two units off from getting my certificate.
