Level 3 IT Solutions Technician
Duration 15 months
IT Solutions Technicians develop, implement and maintain complete IT solutions, including their hardware infrastructure (such as servers and networks). They work as part of a multi-disciplinary team.

In more traditional organisations the team is likely to be focused more at one or other end of this broad set of activities. Such teams may well be in transition to a modern “DevOps” style team.
IT Hardware Solutions Technicians undertake activities in the area of the infrastructure aspects of solutions such as servers and networks (fixed or mobile).
IT Software Solutions Technicians undertake activities in the area of applications and supporting components such as databases.
