<p class="MsoNormal">Dear Everyone</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I recently had a few students enrol in my Cert IV (Networking) ICA40411 course who were not up with the Networking demands ( they did not choose Cisco as a co-requisite ) and requested to do programming as part of their qualification.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Yes, students asked to do programming !</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, I modified/adjusted the course to import a number of programming units including Java, Visual Studio, Mobile Application Development, SQL, OOP etc.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Here are some of the units for the programming . You can find full unit documentation at
<a href="http://www.training.gov.au">www.training.gov.au</a> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>

2. ICAPRG414A Develop mobile applications (50)<br>
3. ICAICT420A Develop client user interface (40)<br>
4. ICAPRG425A Use Structured Query Language (60)<br>
5. ICANWK408A Configure a Desktop Environment (40)<br>
6. ICAPRG406A Apply introductory object-oriented language skills. Much of the writing of classes, arraylists of classes etc fit nicely here.<br>
7. ICAPRG527A Apply intermediate object-oriented language skills </span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span lang="EN" style="font-size:11.0pt; color:black">What is interesting is that this opportunity allowed me to investigate several options such as:</span></p>
