Graduate Certificate in Information Technology

The Graduate Certificate in Information Technology is ideal for professionals seeking to transition into the ICT industry. Comprising eight Information Technology micro units, the Graduate Certificate in Information Technology has been designed to provide foundational knowledge by covering the core elements of ICT best practice set down by the Australian Computer Society's Core Body of Knowledge (CBOK).

There is a growing demand for ICT professionals with a broad and practical skill set to work in many kinds of organisations. This course provides a pathway for professionals with a bachelor degree in an unrelated field of study to transition into an ICT career.

The Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) industry encompasses a diverse range of innovative digital technologies, including data analytics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cyber security, virtual and augmented reality, and the Internet of Things.

As one of Australia's most vital emerging industries, the number of ICT professionals is expected to grow by almost 100,000 to 758,700 by 2023. There has never been a better time to move into this fascinating and rewarding field, and QUT Online's Graduate Certificate in Information Technology opens up the possibility for you to do just that.

"What we focus on at QUT Online is we look at the other skills the industry is looking for, things like communication, creative mindset, problem solving, these are really core to how we teach what we teach and will set you apart when it comes to going for your first interview after graduation." ~ Information Technology - Lauren Fell
