How will I learn?
The majority of lessons will take place in our specialist IT centre. All classrooms are equipped with high-specification computers and flat screen monitors, together with interactive smart boards. All computers have Internet access and students will have individual email accounts and 24/7 access to the College intranet which hosts a variety of learning and teaching resources required for the course. A selection of assignments and homework will be set to cover the units, with deadline dates for completion of work staggered over the duration of the course. Deadlines set for all homework and assignments must be strictly adhered to so good time management skills are essential. During the first year of the course you will also spend two weeks on work experience.

How will I be assessed?
All units are assessed internally by your teachers and then moderated by the board. There are NO exams. Your work will be graded pass, merit or distinction. Pass gives you 40 UCAS points, merit gives you 80 and distinction gives you 120.
