Free Level 3 Engineering Course in Croydon. Classes run at Harris Invictus Academy Croydon, full-time during the day. This is a focused, full-time engineering qualification that typically takes 9 months to complete. You'll study core engineering principles, developing the technical knowledge and practical understanding that employers and universities look for. The course covers how engineering systems are designed, built, and applied in the real world. It's a strong foundation for engineering apprenticeships, technical roles, or further study.
Who this course is for
This course is for students with an interest in how computers and computer systems work, how they are constructed and programmed. You'll need to have studied ICT or computing at GCSE to move on to onto it. You might be choosing computer science because you're headed for a computing career, though thinking computationally (logically, using reasoning, breaking complicated things down and being able to express instructions precisely) is a skill that can be used in a wide range of other careers too. To study Computer Science A level, you'll need a keen interest in computers and good technical, mathematical and problem solving skills. Computer Science particularly complements subjects such as Science and Maths.
