How about this:

"Although experience in the IT industry is essential but not necessary
as internal training in computer hardware and networking will be
provided. You must have at least a high school or equivalent."

Perhaps why I don't apply for "jobs" anymore. 

I learned a long time ago not to put your address on a resume. Wait
until they make further contact and offer an interview before you give
your address!

I no longer have a resume (deleted) I just have fliers and business
cards and I promote myself everywhere I go.

These day it's too expensive and too much trouble to hire someone
(thanks to the overheads of laws like unfair dismissal, compulsory
workers comp, excessive award rates and the unions/sulking workers
riff-wraff) but the work still needs to be done so people pay a
freelancer to do it!
