Yes. The Bachelor of Networking and the Bachelor of Networking (Major in Cybersecurity) are provisionally accredited by the Australian Computer Society (ACS) at the Professional Level. MIT's courses are also accredited by TEQSA (Tertiary Education Quality and Standards Agency), Australia's independent national quality assurance and regulatory agency for higher education. The course also prepares students for Microsoft and Cisco certificates such as Microsoft Server Administration, CCNA, CCNA Wireless, and CCNA Security.

If a third party is required to find a project for the student, the student will incur an additional fee.
