A LITTLE CLARITY GOES A LONG WAY

Your questions,
answered.

Speak with an advisor
I’m new to IT. Where should I begin?

Start with the skills assessment and select only the skills you have used. Having few or no skills is a valid starting point. Explore support, hardware and networking foundations, then speak to an advisor about entry requirements and a manageable learning plan.

What does my career match score mean?

Your score compares your self-reported skills with a role profile. It is a guide for choosing what to practise next, not a qualification or a guarantee of employment. Use lab work, projects and mentor feedback to validate your readiness.

How are programmes recommended?

We compare your missing skills with learning areas identified in published NextGen Campus programme content. Review the detailed curriculum and prerequisites with an advisor before choosing a programme. Upcoming programmes are excluded from recommendations.

Can I use a job advertisement to plan my learning?

Yes. Open the job description matcher, paste the role requirements and compare them with your current skills. Focus on essential skills first, then build a small project or lab that demonstrates each capability.

Are the salary figures guaranteed?

No. Salary bands are indicative guidance from the existing career catalogue. Pay depends on experience, employer, location and market conditions. Confirm current opportunities through employer listings and your career advisor.
