AIICT announces new ICT40120 - Certificate IV in Information Technology (Networking)
The Australian Institute of ICT (AIICT) has today announced a new ICT40120 - Certificate IV in Information Technology (Networking). AIICT is a start-up launched in 2019 by DDLS, one of Australia’s largest providers of corporate IT and cybersecurity training, and Microsoft Gold Learning Partner.
The course is designed for individuals who aspire to work in ICT administrator or technician roles, or those currently in entry-level roles who want to formalise the experience and on-the-job skills they have developed.
The certificate provides a solid base of knowledge to equip students for a broad range of roles within the ICT industry.

By achieving the certificate, students will become proficient in implementing information systems and software including Microsoft Windows Desktop Operating Systems, Microsoft Server Operating Systems and Virtualisation Platforms.
“AIICT aims to provide the most contemporary, relevant, and future-focused skills for students to succeed. When the demand for skilled ICT professionals skyrocketed even further this year as organisations transitioned to remote working, AIICT wanted to address this shortage by providing more opportunities for organisations to upskill their staff”, said Jon Lang, CEO of DDLS.
“If we are going to fix Australia’s critical skills shortages in ICT and encourage more professionals into the field, it is crucial that professionals have access to flexible, quality online training programs, which they can structure around their lives”, added Lang.
Key learning outcomes of the course include:
- Develop strategies and apply critical thinking to work processes
- Install, manage and configure virtual environments
- Maintain the security and integrity of an organisation’s networks and system
- Create, maintain and troubleshoot networks for an organisation
