Case Study
“I really enjoyed the GNVQ Foundation ICT course which I did last year. So I enrolled onto the BTEC First Diploma IT Practitioners course, which I’m also enjoying. I already had an interest in IT, but now I have a better understanding of the subject.
The course is very good. And the tutors have been very helpful and kind. They have helped me to reach my potential – I’m now aiming to progress onto the National Diploma ICT practitioners course. I would certainly recommend the IT courses at College to those who are interested in this subject.”
