What the college says

This course is for learners that want to continue to develop their ICT and digital skills to a higher standard, either progressing from Digital Functional Skills Level 1 or identifying as having the necessary ICT skills to jump straight to this level from initial assessment results and discussion. Learners should be competent computer users with some form of access outside of the classroom. Due to it being a portfolio based course, there will be an emphasis on coursework and some independent work outside the classroom.
