Applied General in Information Technology (Vocational)

Assessment

Students should take the Extended Certificate if they want to gain the specialist skills, knowledge and understanding of IT which taken alongside other vocational or academic qualifications, can allow them access to Higher Education in IT-related programmes. The Extended Certificate takes 360 guided learning hours to deliver. This means it is a similar size to an A level and can be taken as part of a one or two-year study programme. This gives learners the flexibility to take other qualifications, whether vocational or academic, in preparation for further study in the sector.
