We all need ICT (Information Communication Technology) and computing skills to communicate in the modern world. We also need them for work. Today these skills are useful in almost every job.
Colleges. You can study ICT and computing skills at further education colleges and centres of vocational excellence (CoVE)s. There are many qualifications available. To find out more, visit their websites or get a copy of their prospectus.
Apprenticeships combine practical experience with training to allow you to earn, gain experience and learn while working. You can do apprenticeships in ICT and in telecommunications areas like call handling or IT and electronic communications.
Studying at a higher level. For many technical roles, it is necessary to study at a higher level. Students who already have some qualifications can apply for a course such as a BTEC Higher National Diploma in computing. This course is useful for people who want to progress to a degree course or work in IT services
