Senior Systems Engineers will need a high-end VET qualification or a bachelor’s degree. You may want to consider the Diploma of Systems Analysis and Design or the Advanced Diploma of Computer Systems Technology. These courses take 12-18 months to complete and are a pathway to a degree in computer science. You will also benefit from supporting qualifications in business administration and leadership.
