Master of Networking and System Administration early graduate Scott Anderson said the course is suited for online delivery.

"It opened up a whole realm of issues in all the subjects I did [and] the forums were well and truly alive," Anderson said.

"Unlike traditional universities, they are well structured for [online delivery] with online forums and resources and quick response times."

Charles Sturt University industry relationships sub dean Dr Irfan Altas said the courses will challenge IT professionals who have been out of the education system for a long time.

"People who work in IT become familiar with thinking logically and are used to a binary approach-indicators which are either 'on' or 'off' and 'right' or 'wrong'," Altas said.
