Computing
Introduction
In the UK roughly one million people work in IT, and there are a
range of roles available. You might enjoy the technical side of
things – programming, software testing, systems analysis – or you
might be more interested in the use of IT in areas like project
management, finance and communication.
The boundaries between IT and other forms of
electronic communication are quickly disappearing. Take your mobile
phone – it’s also a sophisticated computer, media player and
camera. In this industry there are also job roles in aerial
rigging, network planning, satellite communications and
engineering. Sales and customer service are important too, as it is
vital that people have the education and support they need to use
the latest products. The IT and Computing industry is based on
technology that is almost constantly changing and moving forward,
so if that is something that excites you and you want the challenge
of having to adapt to new technology, you should consider a course
in this area.
We offer a broad range of courses designed to
help you develop all the skills you will need for a successful
entry into the computing industry. Qualifications range from
beginner through to degree level, apprenticeships and
foundation degrees in IT & Networking. You will focus on
advancing your technical skills and our courses will provide you
with the knowledge and experience that you will need for employment
– whatever your chosen specialist area.
