Wherever possible, ICT concepts are reinforced through practical tasks. You will be given the opportunity to develop advanced IT skills using MS Office and to apply them to developing the solutions to real problems, such as advertising an event or keeping club accounts. The experience you gain during these introductory tasks will be used to support the development of a project. This is a substantial task testing your practical skills and your application of the theoretical aspects of the course.
