Relevant information

Upon completion of ICT40120 Certificate IV in Information Technology and ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology, students will receive 9 credit points of specified credit, and 15 credit points of unspecified credit which will be counted towards open elective units in the course.

The specified credit of 11906 Introduction to Cyber Security will be counted towards open electives in the course, as the unit is not required in the course. However, this will enable students to select later units that require 11906 Introduction to Cyber Security as a pre-requisite.

The unspecified credit students receive will impact their ability to undertake an optional Specialist Major of these courses, or other Breadth Major/Minor within the university, should this be something the students are interested in pursuing.  There is no right or wrong way to use your credit, but students should seek course advice (SciTech-StudentEnquiries@canberra.edu.au) to ensure their priorities for their study are met.
