Certificate I in Information Technology (ICA10105)
Length of course:
180
hours
Description:
This
qualification provides the skills and knowledge for an individual to
function at a basic level of ICT competency in the contemporary
information society. It will enable a person to undertake
basic ICT functions using a personal computer and to engage in fundamental
online activities. It could be described as ‘the community standard in ICT
literacy’ and may be wholly or partially used as an access and equity program. Its objective is to enable people to
acquire basic ICT
knowledge and skills at a fundamental or foundation level.
This is a relatively ‘small’ qualification with 6 units required to be
completed, 3 of which are core. Electives can be chosen from both ICA05
and to a limited extent from another package. The 3 core units form a
‘natural cluster’ which could be used for particular ICT literacy purposes
including government ICT engagement programs, as a supplement to school
curricula in middle to senior years or for adult and community education
clients. In this form it may result in the issue of Statements of
Attainment. It could also potentially form a relationship with base vendor
certifications such as the International Computer Drivers Licence (ICDL).
Prerequisite Requirements
There are no specific entry requirements for this qualification. However,
prerequisite arrangements for any non-ICA05 elective units in this
qualification should be checked with the originating Training Package.
Job Roles
The qualification provides for basic computer skills in the workplace and
as such small to medium enterprises (SMEs) will find the contents of this
qualification useful at a basic ICT user level. The contents of this
qualification may also provide supplement existing roles in other
industries where basic ICT skills have become necessary; for example in
retailing where basic shop front computer usage is prevalent, in
warehousing where automation of stock and inventory control has occurred
or in manufacturing at shop floor level for monitoring metrics of team
performance and processes.
