Computing & IT

Tap into a sophisticated world where the boundaries between IT and other forms of electronic communication are quickly merging as the technology constantly changes and moves forward.

Take your first steps and beyond with one of our full or part-time day and evening courses which are suitable for everybody whatever level of ability and background.

For those studying a full-time programme career opportunities in the industry are immense so you might choose to go straight into your first job when you qualify or progress to a University degree course.

Our Computing for Beginners courses are always popular for those wishing to learn the basics  on a short 10 week course. Many start with this and then progress to study for a qualification and we have many -  right up to degree level such as the HND in Applied Information Technology or  Foundation Degree in Computing.
