Graduate Certificate in Information Technology

at Asia Pacific International College (APIC)

APIC’s GradCertIT has been designed so that it provides a solid base in key foundational areas of IT, and provides the opportunity for students to continue their studies within the APIC MIT so they can specialise and develop deeper knowledge within specific areas of IT. The APIC Graduate Certificate in Information Technology (GradCertIT) permits entry from a broader range of applicants than the MIT and can potentially accept those that do not necessarily hold a fully recognised bachelor degree. This provides additional pathways to the MIT. The combined GradCertIT/MIT nested set permits those without a previous bachelor degree in IT to be retrained and directed towards a career in IT. This nested set can assist in elevating the shortage being experienced by organisations in recruiting qualified professionals in specific areas of IT. Additionally, such a GradCertIT/MIT nested set allows those with existing expertise in a non-IT field to augment their expertise with modern IT skills and knowledge. This provides new opportunities where a career can be built by combining both fields, either in an entrepreneurial fashion or in specific IT focused roles within organisations aligned with the graduates’ previous training and experience.
