Description

Description
This qualification provides the skills and knowledge for an individual to be competent in planning, technical design, implementation and management of complex and high level ICT network security systems and components. The qualification has a robust ICT technical base with appropriate security units imported from other Training Packages.
Within previous ICT Training Packages, the security of networks and systems was a priority and a number of units in the areas of risk management, websites and privacy were developed. These have been included in Advanced Diploma core along with several more traditional Property Services security units. A number of server, network and interface electives are offered to allow a further level of specialisation as required. The facility for selecting electives from ICA05 and other Training Packages enables other ICT oriented skill areas (e.g. programming or database development) or broader business units to be included.
