The Catholic Education Agreement 2005 contains the following provision for Information Technology technicians:
A teaching support employee in formation technology whose qualifications place them at the top of the one year trained scale (level 4) OR two year trained scale (Level 8) OR three year trained scale (Level 10) and who, in addition, hold an appropriate industry qualification which is directly relevant to the duties being performed by the employee, is entitled to an allowance equal to the difference between their appropriate scale and the next incremental step while that industry qualification remains current.
When establishing the eligibility of a particular certification to attract the allowance the following guidelines apply:
- The course must be directly relevant to the work being carried out in the school and will normally be in the area of user support, application support or infrastructure management.
- The indicative time nominated for the course by the issuing institution should be at least 120 hours
- The course can be delivered online, face-to-face, by assignment or by a combination of these.
- The certification achieved must be recognised within the IT industry.
