Course programme

Summary

You will be enrolled onto a full time Programme of Study which is made up of various elements, but will fundamentally be underpinned by a main qualification. All elements of the programme are mandatory and must be attended. Your programme of study will be made up of the following: Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Information Technology (units inc: Information Technology Systems; Creating Systems to Manage Information; Using Social Media in Business; Programming; Website Development; Mobile Apps Development External work experience Employability Project Employability and enrichment activities, including bite size one-off employer experiences both onsite and offsite, and, blended individual learning experiences (e.g. Microsoft Code Academy, MTA, Comptia, A+ etc.) Soft skills development for employment (i.e. customer service, communication skills, agile development, team working, time management etc). Tutorial English (where required if you have not achieved a grade C/4 or above) The Programme of Study above has been designed and shaped with local employers to ensure that we provide young people with a pathway into this diverse and exciting sector. It's allowed us to ensure that the course content and the skills that you'll develop align with those required by employers and the industry. Having devised the programme alongside employers, it helps us to teach you the behaviours expected for work. We will constantly be referring to the workplace, making you think ahead about being in work. 'You would in the workplace' is something that the college promotes to all students. All employers expect their employees to be at work 100%, we expect the same from you in terms of your Programme of Study.

Additional information

Progression A successful completion of the Programme of Study, you could progress onto another 1-year Level 3 to 'top-up' to the Extended Diploma in Information and Technology. Should you choose to progress onto this provision, there will be clear progression criteria and expectations that will have to be met in terms of attendance, behaviour, etc. Our expectation is that you're here 100% as mentioned previously, as that will be the expectation of future employers. On completion of the 'top-up- to the Extended Diploma, there will be a great opportunity to progress onto Higher Education and study a degree course in areas such as computer science, computer programming and website development to name a few. Remember, if you do want to progress onto Higher Education, your application needs to be in early as UCAS set a deadline of mid January, so we encourage you to complete it by the end of November to allow your lecturer time to write your references. There will also be opportunities to progress onto an Apprenticeship if that is the preferred route suited to you.
