What our Over 4 years we’ve built up a wide
students say range of computing courses.
You can start studying with us while
you’re still in school with Nat 5, Higher
and Advanced Higher Computing. We also
offer two Foundation Apprenticeships which
combine theory with industry insight and
work experience. Then if you come to
college, you can study national certificates,
HNCs and HNDs covering digital design,
computing science and web design.
These are designed to prepare you for
immediate employment.

After completing NC Computing and Digital Media, I returned to What next?
do HNC Computing. You could
I realised that I was more interested in pure computing. This course consider our NQ
was delivered using an online classroom so I could stay at home and Early Education
study locally. Learning this way suited me. Once online, you have and Childcare or
access to your classroom where you see your learning materials and
where you can speak and interact with the lecturer and other students.
If you need help, it’s easy to chat direct to the lecturer and response is
always quick. I think it made me a more independent learner because
tasks are set, you go off and research alone and then come back into
the virtual classroom to discuss or submit. It has prepared me well for
studying at the next level, either at Abertay or Inverness UHI.
