What the college says

The course is designed for students who are interested in creation of IT systems to manage and share information with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in IT. Students develop a core of IT knowledge and study areas such as the relationship between hardware and software that form an IT system, managing and processing data to support business and using IT to communicate and share information. Website design and development is undertaken in Year 13. This content has been developed to give learners the opportunity to develop a range of skills and techniques, personal skills and attributes essential for successful performance in working life.
