How On campus
To infinity and beyond - this course could give you the perfect pathway to a successful career in IT
Boost your career in software development and programming with the ICT50220 Diploma of Information Technology (Advanced Programming).
At our Perth campus you'll gain the knowledge and skills to develop advanced Apps, Internet of Things, Big Data, database design, Cloud Applications Development, and cyber awareness using a variety of programming software and platforms such as PHP, Python and C#. You'll also be developing advanced programming skills with Cloud/mobile devices as this has been identified as a growth area by industry.
You will use current industry standards and emerging technology as you conduct LiveWorks projects with industry partners.
You'll be able to utilise project management techniques and develop advanced soft skills such as communication with clients through teamwork to align the end product with business needs. Independent thinking and problem-solving skills developed within your studies at Certificate IV level are further enhanced with real life client projects.
The Perth campus is excited to be offering this course also as part of a dual qualification to give you greater opportunities to advance your career and enhance your skill set. You can choose to enrol in one extra day per week, for two semesters, and graduate with the Diploma of Information Technology (Advanced Programming) plus the Diploma of Information Technology (Back End Web Development).
Our IT graduates are confident, job ready and sought after by industry because of the specific skills gained during their study at North Metropolitan TAFE and many find employment by the time they graduate.
New students who have not studied the course that precedes this qualification should contact the area to ensure they apply for the correct level of study.
- Advanced problem solving and research skills
- Cloud Application Development
- Project Management, team work and advanced client skills
- Internet of Things (IoT)
- Big Data
- Data modelling
- Develop advanced apps
- Software testing
- Debugging systems
I have the following attributes:
- Sound underpinning knowledge of Python, C#, SQL, HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and IoT
- Good communication skills and the ability to work independently or as part of a team
- Aptitude for design
- Interested in developing knowledge of computer programming languages
- Willing to keep up to date with new web technologies and trends
I have attended the end of year graduations of students from North Metropolitan TAFE for the Cert IV in Programming, Cert IV in Web Based Technologies, Diploma of Software Development and Diploma of Website Development. As part of the experience, I see their end of year projects demonstrated and have the opportunity to question them on what they have built and the extent of their knowledge. Those students are Industry ready. I have attended for at least the past fours years, probably longer, and continue to be impressed with what I see. The courses get stronger each year, and the students graduating have a lot to offer.
