The exciting new IT qualification has evolved to better link to the industry it aims to develop learners for, including the fast-paced field of cyber security. Students who study with us will develop a strong understanding of how IT supports the function of business and how to develop solutions with key stakeholders in mind. A range of teaching and learning methods are employed in this course, from teacher led activities, to paired and group work, practical activities and workshop-style sessions for evidence gathering. Students will be working on industry standard hardware and software, for example, Microsoft Office and Adobe Creative Suite, to develop their project work. Links to the IT industry exist with talks by specialists in cyber security and networking as well as visits to local businesses. University trips and talks are included over the two years, meaning IT students are well-prepared to progress in the field of IT and computer science.
