1 Introduction MacKillop Catholic College established its registered training organisation (RTO 45147) in 2017 as part of the
College’s commitment to making a difference, however big or small, in the lives of each young person to “be
the best they can be.”
By providing specialist vocational education and training (VET) courses as part of MacKillop Catholic College’s
RTO, we are providing opportunities for all learners to explore their interests; learn in a wider range of
challenging environments and work in creative partnerships with industry and the community (including
through work placements).
This Course Guide for ICT30118 Certificate III in Information, Digital Media, and Technology will provide you
an introduction to vocational education and training information and to your course. Read this Guide and keep
it for reference throughout your course. You will also need to read the RTO Student Handbook to ensure you
understand your rights and responsibilities in undertaking a VET course with MacKillop Catholic College RTO.

3 ICT30118 Certificate III in Information, Digital Media & Technology 3.1 Course Overview
This course provides advanced skills in a range of specialist IT areas, such as:
• TECHNICAL SUPPORT: Setting up a computer is a fundamental foundation of the ICT industry …
sometimes computers just do not work! Basic support is being able to setup a computer, find out what
is wrong with a machine (diagnostics) and then communicate that to the client.
• IMAGING: is the visual representation of objects you can see. Digital imaging or digital image acquisition
is the creation of digital images. The term is often assumed to imply or include the processing,
compression, storage, printing, and display of such images. Imaging is the foundation of the digital media
in IDMT. What is important is being able to produce different images for different uses and to also
produce the same image for different uses.
• PHOTOSHOOT: A very practical module orientated towards capturing/acquiring digital images and
preparing them for use in many and varied formats including graphic design, website and social media
publication. The program will prepare you for entry into the photo imaging industry and further studies
in Creative Industries including video production and film making.
• ON THE WEB: Having a web presence, web applications, e-commerce, social media marketing, content
management systems and e-mail marketing are all part of business these days. Business and life are
bound with the internet, the web. Here the uploaded product is a simple, functional business web site.
Delivery Mode:
This course is currently being run as an assessment only or recognition of prior leaning (RPL) program. This
means that this course is open to students who have existing skills in one of the key areas detailed above with
strong IT, application software skills who can self-manage their study.
The course gives the opportunity to gain a formal accredited qualification tailored to meet your individual
needs and areas of expertise. Some units of competency may be available for on campus learning and
assessment. You will need to discuss this with the RTO Manager at the time of enrolment to determine
your t6rainng and assessment pathway.
Units of Competency: As this program is designed as primarily and assessment or RPL only pathways, the unit
choice is open to the individual as long as it meets the packaging rules of the qualification. All enrolments must
be confirmed with the RTO manager prior to enrolment.

7 Records of Student Achievement Protecting each individual’s privacy is not only respectful but a legislative requirement. However both the
College and the College RTO are required to collect information for the purposes of conducting education and
training.
You have received the ‘Protecting Your Privacy’ brochure as part of the general College enrolment pack. The
brochure provides the key information about the College’s duty of care and primary legislative requirements
for protecting privacy. It allows, for example, parents and carers to have access to your learning records.
The College RTO is required under legislation to collect further information (under AVETMISS - the Australian
Vocational Education and Training Management Information Statistical Standard). We have incorporated these
extra questions into the VET Courses Enrolment Form. Only authorised persons within the College RTO will have
access to this information and personal details will not be given to any other third party without written
consent, unless authorised or required by law.
7.1 NTCET Credit All qualifications or units of competency that make up a qualification, in the Australian Qualifications
Framework (AQF) can contribute to the completion requirements of the Northern Territory Certificate of
Education and Training (NTCET). Currently for every 70 nominal hours of nationally recognized training
successfully completed, 10 credits will be recognised towards the NTCET. All competencies/modules are
assigned NTCET Stage 1 or Stage 2 and can contribute to some of the compulsory components of the NTCET
pattern.
The SACE Board determines the stage at which qualifications will be granted recognition in the NTCET. For
details of how specific VET qualifications can earn NTCET credits at Stage 1 and/or Stage 2, refer to the
http://www.sace.sa.edu.au/subjects.
On current information for the selection of units of competency in ICT30118 Certificate II in Information, Digital
Media, and Technology, the credit for a successful completion of the qualification towards the NTCET would
potentially be 90 Credits (Stage 1 and/or Stage 2).
