Program Overview

In today's digital landscape, organizations rely heavily on their IT infrastructure to drive operations and achieve business objectives. Our one-year Ontario College Graduate Certificate Information Technology Systems Analyst program focuses on the critical role of an IT system analyst in bridging the gap between business requirements and technical solutions, ensuring the smooth integration, operation and enhancement of IT systems. 

The program is designed to provide students with the advanced knowledge and practical skills required to analyze, design and optimize IT systems across a range of industries. It also equips graduates with the tools to assess and develop IT systems that meet business needs while addressing performance, security and scalability requirements. 

Throughout the program, students will gain in-depth knowledge of system architecture, data management, network optimization and system integration. They will be trained in industry-standard methodologies such as Agile, DevOps, and the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC), ensuring they can adapt to real-world challenges in IT environments. 

The program also emphasizes the importance of communication and teamwork, as IT system analysts often work closely with stakeholders, developers and IT teams. Through group projects, case studies and real-world applications, students develop problem-solving skills and the ability to recommend solutions that align with organizational goals.
