If a student wishes to undertake the course and has limited to no experience in the ICT industry, it is highly recommended the student undertakes Short Course VTP534 Introduction to Cyber Security; this course will give students the foundation knowledge in networking and Python programming.
There are no compulsory entry requirements however, the preferred pathways for learners considering this qualification may include:
- Completion of VTP534 Introduction to Cyber Security;
- Completion of ICT30120 Certificate III in Information Technology, ICT40120 Certificate IV in IT or other relevant courses; or
- Demonstrated vocational experience in a range of work environments using information technologies
A pre-enrolment interview will be conducted where the lecturer will determine whether the student has the required language, literacy and numeracy (LLN) and/or digital literacy skills to undertake the course and to determine any support requirements.
To ensure you have the right skills and support to succeed in your course, a Language, Literacy and Numeracy (LL&N) evaluation helps identify any areas where you may need additional support to help you achieve your goals.
