Traineeships in ICT and cyber security via Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) such as TasTAFE provide a solid pathway into the Tasmanian State Service that allows new entrants to gain on-the-job paid employment experience while undertaking nationally recognised industry qualifications and training.
Traineeships in the Tasmanian State Service are generally advertised and managed by Group Training Organizations (GTO) or Apprenticeship Network Providers (ANPs) such as Work and Training and MEGT.
Evidence of workplace experience that aligns with key units of competency in the ICT training package can be recognised through Recognition of prior learning (RPL) resulting in credits towards a qualification.
Articulation between VET and tertiary is available upon completion of the Diploma (AQF5) which translates into credits when applying for a university degree.
Through TAFECyber in collaboration with the Australian Signals Directorate (ASD) specialist cyber courses such as Essential Eight are available through TasTAFE.
