There are no longer any aspects of life that remain untouched by the developing world of IT. This course aims to provide you with the knowledge, understanding and skills to be successful in many of the fields within IT. In 13 units (4 externally assessed and 9 internally assessed) you work through a series of both theoretical and practical tasks that you could expect to face in IT-related employment. You will gain a better understanding of yourself as a learner and plan for your own development by identifying your strengths and weaknesses. You will understand how different types of organisation use IT to support their activities and will learn how to create various digital products using a range of software. Once completed this course offers you a variety of ways forward. You can go on to degree level study, with UCAS tariffs being clearly matched to your total points from the 13 units. You could then specialise in a particular area of IT. Alternatively you could opt to enter employment knowing that you have already studied many aspects of IT. All jobs require some digital skills and knowledge, and you will be well prepared for this, whatever you choose.
