Vocational Information Technology

UPDATED 20161104 14:12:18

The Level 3 Diploma offers students the opportunity to achieve an A Level equivalent qualification that is based on practical learning. The principle difference between A Level and the vocational course is the method of assessment. The vocational course is internally assessed through a series of assignments set by staff with strict guidelines. Students continually know where they are and what they need to do to improve their grade. The content is similar to the A Level, however the focus is on demonstrating practical skills. In the new courses from 2016, there are three written, external exams to be sat during the course. By the end of this course you will have an understanding of the fundamental operation and use of IT systems, including software development, network security and business IT. Some of the specialist content will be delivered by guest speakers from local companies, and students are encouraged to find work experience with local IT businesses.
