Trades and Applied Technology


INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND APPLIED SYSTEMS (ITAS)


SKILLS FOR THE FUTURE

Information technology (IT) and information systems (IS) are two of the fastest
growing sectors in Canada and the world. We collaborate with local and global
industry to make sure VIU graduates are top candidates in these in-demand
fields.


TWO-YEAR DIPLOMAS

We offer two diplomas, Systems Administration and Networking diploma or the Web
and Mobile Development diploma. With either diploma, you’ll graduate ready for a
rewarding career.

Systems and network administrators are a key part of the IT workforce. They work
with cloud systems, servers, operating systems and the networking equipment that
keeps modern communication flowing.

Web and mobile developers design and work with applications that people use
every day for everything from booking a flight to using social media.

Our instructors have years of industry experience, and we maintain relationships
with our alumni and the companies where they work.

Not sure which diploma suits you? We offer options to switch diplomas after
you’ve started. After you complete either ITAS Diploma, you can ladder into the
third year of various IT and IS degree programs. You’ll also be prepared to
write some industry certifications. For more information email info@itas.ca.
