Information Technology (Vocational Studies) - Introductory Certificate

This course includes core units focusing on key transferable skills such as research and planning, time management and working with others. It also includes several specialist sector units, allowing you to acquire some of the practical skills identified by employers as fundamental building blocks for future competence in the workplace. Units include:

• Being Organised
• Developing a Personal Progression Plan

There are no entry requirements but if you don’t have any qualifications you will be asked to take an English and maths test.

During the course, you will build a digital portfolio for each unit. This will be assessed and you will be awarded either a Pass/Merit/Distinction or Distinction * grade. You will also be able to take additional classes in maths and English and gain separate qualifications in these subjects.
