Server Infrastructure & Virtualisation (Micro-credential)

Admission:

Applicants must be at least 15 years of age.

While there are no mandatory prerequisites, it is strongly recommended that learners have:
- Foundational digital literacy (ability to navigate a computer, install software, and use basic IT tools)
- Basic numeracy skills to interpret technical data and troubleshoot configurations
- Prior exposure to IT concepts (e.g., experience with operating systems or networking gained through study, work experience, or self-learning).

Students who enter without an IT background will have access to:
- Pre-course preparatory materials (self-paced resources on basic IT concepts)
- Trainer support through guided learning sessions.

To support learner readiness, we will provide a pre-course online self-assessment. This short, diagnostic activity helps learners gauge their comfort with foundational IT concepts and basic digital tasks. While this assessment is not a barrier to entry, it allows both the learner and trainer to identify areas where additional support may be needed during the course.

What can I expect out of this qualification?

This micro-credential is designed to provide learners with foundational skills and knowledge in the configuration, management, and troubleshooting of server infrastructure and virtualised environments. This aligns with the strategic purpose of enhancing the technical capabilities of individuals entering the IT workforce, equipping them with specific competencies required to manage and support virtualised infrastructure effectively.

The programme supports the development of a technically skilled workforce that can contribute to the digital transformation and operational efficiency of businesses in New Zealand.
