This 2.5-year Advanced Diploma forms part of a nested suite of courses, more specifically the ICT50115 – Diploma of Information Technology and the ICT60115 – Advanced Diploma of Information Technology qualifications. Students commence the Diploma level in the first year, and then continue on to the Advanced Diploma in the second year.
