The Access to HE Diploma in Computing is a one year course. During the year you will learn a wide range of computing skills. This will prepare you for progression to higher level qualifications in computer related subjects at a higher education institution. The course is for people who aspire to be the IT professionals of the future who will be setting up and configuring hardware and software. Those who are looking for a course to improve their basic IT skills will not find it meets their needs. If you have ever wondered why you get those Facebook adverts, ever thought you could develop a better game or app than the one you’re using, ever wanted to stop the people who are spreading viruses or to make your computer easier to use then a career as an IT professional may be what you are after.

* Grade C in GCSE English language OR maths and at least a level 2 qualification in the other one. IT skills are also needed.
