Your assignments will be written in collaboration with our employers and based around skills needed in the industry.

All assessment will be project based including:

• Written assignments
• Practical tasks
• Presentations.

There will be no exams in these units.

Your tutors have many years of teaching experience across the FE and HE sector.

They also have a background of working in the industry in Data or cyber security.

We are constantly looking to upskill our staff, ensuring currency of delivery and giving you the best possible experience.

Links with local businesses in the digital sector, including Cyber North, mean we can adapt to changes in the industry and access professionals for their experience and advice.

This might include work experience opportunities, guest speakers or visits to digital conferences.

Our Digital Technology curriculum is reviewed by a range of employers to ensure that you will develop the skills required to work in the industry.

The rooms are each fitted with around 20 PC’s and include a range of active network equipment, including patch panels, switches and routers in industry standard racks.

The rooms provide a realistic, practical learning environment for networking configuration and trouble-shooting including lab exercises, firmware patching, cyber security defence and any other hardware related topics.

You can also deploy and access cloud services, existing data repositories for analysis and create back end infrastructure for data led curriculums.

We are always looking to improve our hardware and software to keep rooms and equipment in line with industry standards.

At the end of the year, you can progress into employment or continue your studies and complete a Level 5 HND.

Please note: Courses will run subject to sufficient student numbers.

Some units are subject to change depending on industry requirements.

Sometimes planned delivery is subject to change, for example moving to remote learning. If this is the case we will clearly communicate this to you beforehand.
