Who This Is For

Is this programme for you?

Learners who have completed the Foundation and want hands-on IT support, systems or network administration roles.

You work inside a simulated South African business, handling the same tasks a new employee would in their first ninety days. Knowledge is taught because the task in front of you needs it, not as a subject to memorise.

The Digital Operations Professional Foundation is the compulsory first block and comes before any specialisation.
