Who It’s For

Why Do This Course

Start With No Background

Built for beginners and career changers.

Move Across From Helpdesk

The bridge from IT support into security.

Do The Work, Not Quizzes

Every stage ends in a hands-on applied exam.

Where The Skills Fit

Where These Skills Could Take You

Defensive security teams sit inside banks, telcos and government. A day is alerts, log queries, write-ups and passing on what you found.

Security Operations Analyst

Triage alerts and chase the odd ones down.

Information Security Analyst

Watch the logs and write up what happened.

Vulnerability Analyst

Rank the holes and push the important fixes.

Threat Intelligence Analyst

Track who is knocking, and tell the team.

Roles where these skills are useful, not promised outcomes. There is no job guarantee, and hiring depends on the employer, your background and how you interview. Some employers ask for accredited study as well.

Good to Know

Common Questions

Do I need IT experience?

None. Complete beginners and career changers are the people this is built for.

What gear do I need?

Any reasonably current computer and steady internet.

How long do I get?

Ten months of access, at about ten hours a week.

How am I assessed?

Applied exams at the end of each stage.

Can I enrol from overseas?

It is open to people living in Australia only.

Is this nationally recognised training?

You earn four TechDX certifications and a completion Certificate. It is not accredited training, not an AQF qualification, and not nationally recognised, so it does not licence you for a regulated role. What it gives you is lab hours and an evidence pack to show employers.

Is a job promised at the end?

There is no job guarantee. Hiring rests with the employer, your background and your interview.
