Certificate IV in Information Technology is not an entry level course. It is highly recommended that applicants entering into the course possess high level computer skills such as networking, programming and web design experience. These skills can be gained by completing the Certificate III in Information Technology course.

The Certificate IV in Information Technology (Networking) qualification provides the skills and knowledge for you to become competent in a wide range of technologies, including installing and administering simple networks, servers, and client desktop systems, either as an independent information and communications technology (ICT) specialist, or as part of a team. You will learn in a blended classroom/online environment with real systems used in the industry.

In this course, you’ll gain transferable skills and knowledge across four areas: Networking, Cyber Security, Programming & Web Development and Technical support.

On successful completion of this course, you will be equipped to apply for range of in-demand IT job roles including ICT Technician, Technical Support Officer, Network Administrator and Network Support Officer. It will also prepare you with the skills you need to undertake further study in a number of ICT qualifications at Diploma level or above.

In this course, you’ll gain transferable skills and knowledge across four areas: Networking, Cyber Security, Programming & Web Development and Technical support.

Entry

We encourage you to consider if this is the right course for you by undertaking the Informed Choices Student Self-Assessment (Word).

Fees, payments and other costs

Your tuition fees cover the basic materials needed for your course, but may not cover items such as text books, workbooks, uniform, online learning resources or personal protective clothing. Depending on your course, there may also be other expenses that you need to budget for.

For courses undertaken in 12 months or less, you will be invoiced the full course fee (including any other essential fees associated with your course).

*For courses studied over multiple years, your course and other fees will be split over the years of study, with the concession fee being charged on a yearly basis. At the time of enrolment you will be invoiced for the first year’s fees. An invoice will be raised in each subsequent year around the same time as your ‘enrolment anniversary’.

Further information on fees, payments and other costs.

Recognition of prior learning and skills

It makes sense that you should be recognised for the things you already know how to do.

TasTAFE can assess your skills and knowledge based on your previous education, work history or life experience – which may help you to gain your qualification a whole lot faster!

More information on the recognition process is available on our recognition of prior learning and skills page.
