Unless a
student has
prior
computing
qualifications
and/or
experience,
they will
enter at the
level of the
'Certificate
in
Information
Technology &
Programming'.
At this
level,
emphasis is
placed on
the
introduction,
installation,
operation
and
application
of
computers.
Practical
applications
include
databases,
desk-top
publishing,
graphics,
multimedia,
networking,
electronic

Equating
the ACP
qualification
to
others |
|
The ACP
combined
Certificate
&
Diploma
qualification
equates
with
either
three A
Levels;
the BTEC
National
Diploma
or the
IMIS
Diploma
and,
accordingly,
fits
into the
National
Qualifications
Framework
(NQF) as
a Level
3
qualification. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
Entry
Requirements |
|
| |
The one year
certificate
level covers
practical
programming,
general
computer
theory and
operating
aspects |
|
| |
The ACP
stipulates
that
applicants
must have
attained a
satisfactory
standard of
secondary
education
(including a
sound grasp
of the
English
Language and
a basic
level of
Numeracy).
It is our
experience
that
students are
usually best
suited to
this course
if they have
achieved the
equivalent
of A-C
grades at
GCSE level
or if they
have some
previous
experience
of computer
programming. |
