A wide range of part-time and full-time Computing courses aim to meet the ever-increasing demands of employers and individuals to keep up to date with new technologies and to work in this dynamic area. Professional Lecturers from industry backgrounds with training gained from the leading IT organisations such as Microsoft and Cisco deliver this range of courses.

Full-time BTEC qualifications from Level 1 to Level 3 (equivalent to A-Levels) are offered in IT. Students have the opportunity to tailor their course specifically to their area of interest and can benefit from gaining additional professional qualifications such as Cisco and Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) qualifications.

Part-time day and evening courses offer a way to gain recognised qualifications or develop skills in areas of interest, ranging from software to programming and web design.

For those looking to go onto Higher Education, Foundation Degrees are offered in partnership with Bournemouth University in Business Information Technology and Computing and Internet Technology. Both courses offer the option to top-up to the honours degree qualification with a further year’s study.

Intensive Computing at the College offers an immediate training resource for those short on time. 1 and 2 day courses aim to bring you up to speed with the latest Microsoft software applications such as Excel, Access and Project, as well as Macromedia applications, such as Dreamweaver.

For those looking for real flexibility the e-Learning Centre is a great choice to develop computing skills at a time you choose, working at a pace to suit you.

We have been a Cisco Regional Academy for 4 years and are involved in training other Cisco academies, as well as running courses to train individuals in the globally recognised Cisco networking qualifications.
