About this course

There are no entry conditions for this Apprenticeship course. However, many employers require good (A* - C) GCSE passes in English and Maths in order to enter the programme.While it is not mandatory for an apprentice to achieve an Advanced Apprenticeship prior to embarking upon the Higher Apprenticeship programme, it will be beneficial in most cases to begin at Level 3 as some of the fundaments of an IT business and core technical skills need to be learned at an advanced level before Higher level IT skills and techniques can be effectively applied in the workplace.

Students may top-up their HNC with additional study to achieve HND Computing and Systems Development.Some apprentices may elect to continue their technical studies and embark upon job-specific professional/vendor qualifications (for example: with Microsoft, Cisco, Oracle, VM Ware or CompTIA).Alternatively, apprentices may elect to return to full-time education to complete an ICT related degree. Some degree programmes are also available part-time and through distance-learning.
