Certificate III in
Information Technology
The ICT30120 Certificate III in Information Technology is a complete qualification that will provide a broad understanding across the ICT sector. This will include topics such as: generalist IT support, networking, basic system administration, introductory programming, basic cloud computing and basic cyber security awareness — with critical thinking and customer service underneath all of it.
Paid work with a host employer, with the structured training and assessment delivered by us at Myaree.

5 modules
Each module runs the same way: a block of face-to-face training and practical work at Myaree, then self-paced online theory to consolidate it, then assessment of the same skills on a real job — at the end of that module, not all at the end of the course. The unit codes under each block are what gets signed off.
Foundation Skills
Critical and creative thinking, and working in a team — the two things every support role leans on before any of the technical skills matter.
ICT Environment, Client Advice and Documentation
Intellectual property, ethics and privacy policies in ICT environments, and giving ICT advice to clients: taking the problem, working it, and explaining it back in plain words.
Introductory Programming
Applying introductory programming techniques — enough to read, modify and write simple code, which increasingly turns up in support work.
Cyber Security Awareness
Protecting your own online profile, identifying and reporting online security threats, and securely managing personally identifiable and workplace information. Three units, and the reason this qualification sits alongside the funded cyber security program.
Networking and System Administration
Configuring and administering network operating systems, administering network peripherals, installing and testing network protocols, and providing basic system administration. Delivered as two two-day blocks.
Who it suits
Employers
Someone stays productive on your jobs while they qualify, and you keep a tradesperson who already knows how you work. The face-to-face training comes in short blocks rather than one long absence, and we usually talk to the employer before we meet the candidate — we help with applications and selection too.
It also works for someone already on the books. An existing-worker arrangement formalises what they are doing, and Recognition of Prior Learning cuts down what they have to sit.
Apprentices and trainees
You earn while you learn, and you finish with a nationally recognised qualification and years of real jobs behind you rather than a certificate on its own.
Where the work is: Office environments, server and communications rooms, retail and helpdesk settings, and client sites — across commercial, government, education and not-for-profit workplaces.
It leads to: IT support officer, help desk technician, desktop support, junior network administrator. The Cyber Security Awareness module sits inside this qualification, and ICT30120 is funded under the Priority Industry Training Fund.
Units of competency
12 units — 6 core and 6 elective, 440 nominal hours in total. 12 units — six core and six electives. Elective offerings can be customised for corporate clients where it is viable.
