This qualification consists of 24 units, made up of 21 core units and 3 elective units, studied over 3 years.
All students enrolled in this qualification are required to undertake Work Integrated Learning. Work Integrated Learning provides the student with the opportunity to put into practice the skills learned in the classroom. Work Integrated Learning requirements will be discussed during Student Orientation.
IHSI will organise the Work Integrated Learning opportunities for students aligned with their chosen interests in particular cybersecurity roles and tasks, and where possible in organisations located close to their address. Should a student wish to change the Work Integrated Learning provider, they will need IHSI suitability approval and this can only take place after IHSI has assessed that organisation and signed a contract with the new provider.
