The purpose of the Access to Higher Education: Computing and IT course is to provide you a pathway to build a passion for computing, whether that is gaining a qualification to match your professional skills or to gain the skills to take your career forwards.
We build from basic knowledge up to preparation for university. Each topic begins with the understanding that some students within the group will have limited knowledge. We then deliver the content to a high level of competence over the year. It does not matter what existing level of IT skill you have. Whilst existing knowledge will provide an advantage it is not required as we cover each topic from the ground up.
The access course is aimed to prepare you for a university course, which is why over 90% of our students go on to study at university or be in full-time, relevant employment within six months of completing the course. However, many of our students go on to higher Apprenticeships such as Level 4 Apprenticeships in network engineering/software development.
You must attend an interview with the course leader, your experience and/or attitude will be considered. We recommend that you have GCSE English and Maths at a minimum of Grade 4 (C). However, please contact us to discuss and we would be happy to advise based on your particular set of circumstances.
It is advisable to check the GCSE requirements for the higher education course you wish to complete following the Access course, as they may have different stipulations.
