ICT60220 Advanced Diploma of Information Technology

ICT60220 is the nationally recognised Advanced Diploma of Information Technology. It prepares you for work as a telecommunications network engineer. It has been the current version on the national register since 2021, when it replaced ICT80315 and ICT80615 and ICT80515 and ICT80415 and ICT60615 and ICT60120. Employers posted about 64 telecommunications network engineer jobs in June 2026, up 19.1% on a year earlier.

The short answer

The signals behind the Advanced Diploma of Information Technology are mixed, and both sides are worth weighing. Employment is projected to grow through 2035 and job ads in June 2026 were up 19.1% on a year earlier. The official shortage list does not rate its occupations in shortage and enrolments are falling. These are official statistics, not a promise about your result.

Jobs and Skills Australia

Is the work there?

Employers are posting more telecommunications network engineer jobs than a year ago. About 64 telecommunications network engineer jobs were advertised online in June 2026, up 19.1% on a year earlier. Over the last 12 months there were about 700 job ads, while 7,365 people were training in the qualification nationally (2025). Ads show the market. Enrolments show the pipeline. Neither is a job promise.

How we calculate these figures

Get Course maps ICT60220 to its occupations using the register’s own outcome wording, shown with ANZSCO codes (here, 2633) so the mapping can be checked. Job advertisement counts come from the Jobs and Skills Australia Internet Vacancy Index and count online ads, not vacancies filled. Enrolment counts come from NCVER Total VET Activity and count people in training, not completions. Funding rows appear only after verification against the official state program list.
