About the course
Gain practical skills and a broad understanding of the core concepts required for Information Technology (IT) technical support roles. Graduates of this diploma will acquire the skills and knowledge they need to work as a computer technician, help desk/technical support officer, entry-level network administrator, network engineer, or an application support analyst.
The NZDIT Technical Support is a one year programme (three trimesters) and is ideal for New Zealand students as fees are free under the Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund (TTAF). No previous tertiary qualifications are necessary, and the diploma will allow you to progress onto further IT qualifications.
Once you have completed the NZDIT Technical Support, you can move onto a Bachelor of Information Technology, followed by a Postgraduate Diploma or even Master’s study if you wish. Cross-credits for subsequent IT study are available.
