I started off with a single course to see how it would suit me as it had been 22 years since I had last studied. With the help from the people in Pitman, I completed the course and realised I could continue and get a Diploma. Best decision I could ever have made.

About this diploma

This diploma is ideal if you’re looking for a position with greater responsibility than more entry-level roles in IT departments. Upon completion of the diploma, you’ll be well positioned to gain CompTIA certification in several key areas of IT.

Position yourself for success in IT!

IT employees hold some of the most important jobs in any organisation. As an advanced IT Support Technician, it will be your responsibility to keep the computers and related systems running smoothly and efficiently. As a more senior support professional, your job could involve providing any of the following types of support to internal and external clients:

  • help resolve complex issues that have been escalated from Tier 1 support and require more detailed systems and applications knowledge
  • maintain system capabilities by testing existing equipment and software
  • test new systems and applications
  • train users on proper use of hardware and software
  • manage and/or train Tier 1 support technicians

The role of an advanced IT Support Technician is vital within any organisation. With this diploma, you’ll be well positioned to take on a role of greater responsibility in an IT department than the typical entry-level position.

With this diploma and some experience in a senior support role, your career could advance to positions of greater seniority and responsibility, such as Systems Administrator or IT Support Manager.
