Up to 71% off Commonwealth funded places for graduate certificates in Cyber Security, Networking, Cloud and Computing (Career Transition) are available from IT Masters (Charles Sturt University) for IT subjects.

This is a saving of $2,450 per subject. For example, the cost of the Graduate Certificate in Cyber-Security for four subjects would be $4,000 instead of $13,800. A further 10% discount on the remaining fees is available for students eligible for HEC-HELP that choose to pay up front. The certificates courses can be used as credit towards a masters.

The certificate courses are offered online and take eight months. If you are thinking of taking up an IT career, IT Masters offers a free short course: IT Career Fundamentals to help you decide.

IT Masters also has 47% discount on management and marketing subjects, reducing the cost of these subjects from $3,450 to $1,828 per subject.

    or just learn it free at Google University…

    There's a lot of free online tutorials to learn this stuff. Even renowned universities have released a lot of their IT content for free.

      I've done a few of the free courses including Psychology from Yale through Coursera. They were ok but there wasn't any interaction, just reading and watching videos.

      I also completed a Certificate in Cyber Security (from Melbourne Institute of Technology) last year and the great thing about it was the interaction in online classes with the lecturer and other students and we had an active Discord group.

      I think that graduate certificates are better on a CV and they provide credit for other university courses too.

      • FreshPrinceofKP on 10/03/2022 - 08:51

        What would you say is better. For me to do this Grad Cert or compete things like CCNA and Security+ (Or something else)?

        I think after doing Grad Cert I would still need other Certs in IT.

        I have done years of study in Finance but could be looking for a change. IT certs I know I would get through but to also take on a Grad Cert would be too much barrier of entry for the career change.

        I do agree about it on the CV it looks nice though. Good talking point and shows commitment.

    Price of each subject is similar to a bachelor degree. *Landing a job is not guaranteed.

  • SeekBargain2009 on 14/02/2022 - 14:21

    I did Grad Cert on Cyber Security last year and just completed it, paid ~$4k in total. It is a great course, lecturers/mentors are there to help out.

    • Spennyrich on 14/02/2022 - 14:34

      What career direction are you looking at?

      • SeekBargain2009 on 14/02/2022 - 14:51

        I've actually been in the industry, that enhances my knowledge and helps out daily job.

        • hanger7 on 15/02/2022 - 08:48

          Was there a lot of work to complete? Tests/Exams/Assignments etc?

  • tommynolips on 14/02/2022 - 14:26

    If you never went to uni but have been working in the IT (specifically Infrastructure related) field for >10 years are you eligible to enrol in these courses?
    edit: I now see you can enquire as to whether or not you are eligible for credits based on industry experience here: http://www.itmasters.edu.au/am-i-eligible/

    • Intoxicoligist on 14/02/2022 - 14:35

      You can enroll with no formal education background if you have been working in IT based on "Applicants without a tertiary qualification may be admitted to the Graduate Certificate in XXXX on the basis of professional attainment and/or work experience." I dont see them turning people down.

    • danlibbo on 14/02/2022 - 16:47

      IT Masters are really good with Recognition for Prior Learning.
      Each course has a page like this one for Cyber Security that maps industry credentials against specific subjects.
      Main limitation is you can only claim RPL to skip half of a course (i.e. 2/4 courses for a Grad Cert or 6/12 for a Masters).
      They’re also much more open than I’ve found other places to discussing credit for experience.

  • Intoxicoligist on 14/02/2022 - 14:32

    Bugger, I started my MBA (Computing) with CSU this session. Some of the units are the same, but I wont be taking any of them. But that being said I did a cybersecurity postgrad course with IT Masters/CSU around 2015 and wasn't impressed and dropped it with a postgrad certificate rather than complete the full masters.

  • Spennyrich on 14/02/2022 - 14:34

    Does this give you a masters ?

    • Intoxicoligist on 14/02/2022 - 14:36

      Nope, you get a graduate certificate (kind of like a mini-masters). If you finish this you can get direct entry into the Masters version of the course (Masters in Cybersecurity etc) with credits for each unit you completed (4 units in the grad cert, 12 in masters).

        Need to spend another ~25k to get the full masters

    • Jenny Death on 14/02/2022 - 15:34

      No, but it gives you level 8 on the aqf which is equivalent to a bachelor's with honours.

      • Intoxicoligist on 14/02/2022 - 18:01

        Makes sense when you're supposed to have Batchelors or equiv before enrolling. Not bad if you didnt do uni and need to get on the aqf though.

    I did cybersec in 2020 with IT Masters/CSU with the COVID discount it was ~$2000. If you do 3x of the ITmasters short courses (they're free, you'll get a credit for 1 unit, thus saving some money).

    Great qual to have - truly awful content/lecturers/materials.

    The best unit was Architecting Cloud Solutions - the lecturer was awesome. If you do any course with CSU, make sure you join the student run discord… Good banter to be had.

      +1 for using Discord at uni. Makes a huge difference having a online social community doing the same study.

      Yep, just finishing the Grad Cert in Cyber at CSU right now (awaiting session exam results) in a similar CSP and I agree with your comment 'Great qual to have - truly awful content/lecturers/materials'.
      A lot of the content is a few years behind the times, and some seems to be totally irrelevant in corporate environments.

      If it wasn't for the CSU Cyber discord, I probably would have failed one of the worst content/material subjects…

      • Intoxicoligist on 14/02/2022 - 18:04

        I did "Grad Cert in Information Systems Security" in 2016 and the course quality was balls. 2 of the units had near identical content (1 IT masters unit, 1 CSU unit) while the rest was fluff and filler. I'm going for MBA (Computing) this year and I hope that the non-IT courses are of a reasonable quality. With credits its only 7 units, and none of them are tech which rocks (tech for a living makes studying tech less enjoyable in off ours, in my experience).

  • Jenny Death on 14/02/2022 - 14:59

    There was also the free grad certs last year, which imo were really underwhelming but I've felt that way about all education I've done in Australia.

    Rumour has it the guy that runs IT masters is a real coward. ;)

    Content and lectures are underwhelming boardering on irrelevant. Free courses are OKish you get what you pay for.
