A qualification in ICT will open the door to many careers. Both Foundation and Intermediate Levels can offer work on help desks and in junior administration posts, while the Advanced Level will prepare you for progression to HNDs and degree courses, or access into management trainee courses. IT GNVQs will enable you to develop the knowledge, skills and techniques to be successful in this challenging and rewarding career. Advanced and Intermediate level students will learn and develop skills including the Design of an ICT system, problem analysis and solving at various levels. Foundation level offers a broad understanding of hardware components, software and presenting and handling information.
Assessment is continual through a variety of projects and external examinations.
Our excellent facilities include spacious modern buildings with the latest technology and equipment. Our dedicated staff team are all trained professionals with high level ICT qualifications, and will provide you with the right combination of theory, practical skills, guidance and encouragement to help you get your qualification. In May 2000, GNVQ ICT Foundation students successfully organised an ICT Open Day at the College ICT Cafe, to provide members of the public with an insight into the college courses available and have a chat with a tutor or careers advisor and an opportunity to 'have a go' with a computer taster session. The group were responsible for every aspect of the event, including the advertising, provision of welcome bags, health and safety, presentation including posters and PowerPoint and to ensure adequate staffing. The event was well attended and succeeded in raising awareness of ICT courses available to the local public and gaining enrolments .
