What the college says

The Pearson BTEC Level 3 National Extended Certificate in Information Technology is a qualification equivalent in size to one A Level. It is designed for learners who are interested in an introduction to the study of creating IT systems to manage and share information alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in IT. Learners will develop a common 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. You will learn to master a number of applications some of which will be new to you, including: MS Office, MS Project Manager, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Flash, Adobe Dreamweaver.
