This Higher Certificate is closely aligned to the needs of industry, training graduates who are industry-ready with the skillset to support, administer and manage information communication technology (ICT) systems and networks in a wide range of industry sectors.
Almost every business now relies on ICT and most require in-house ICT knowledge and expertise to track customers and products, to develop, analyse and administer web sites, to monitor and maintain their computers and networks, to maintain and update software operating systems and applications and to plan, deploy and monitor computer services while ensuring the security of data and networks.
There are also many large and small computer companies developing and providing software and hardware services and solutions to a variety of sectors, including Financial Services, Food and Agriculture, Telecommunications, Health and Education. There are many roles involved in the development of these services and solutions including testing, updating and deploying the solutions, operating and monitoring software remotely and providing customer support.
The primary focus of the higher certificate is on developing technical and practical skills in computing and the provision and maintenance of hardware, software and networks. The first semester of this course is common to all computing courses within the Department of Computing, MTU Kerry North Campus, covering modules in computer hardware, networks and programming. Modules that focus on the provision of support and training in an IT environment are introduced from semester two.
A key component of this course is work placement. This is the focus of semester four and provides the opportunity for students to gain relevant, real world experience in a workplace environment.
