Further study (additional classroom sessions) in Maths or English are built into the timetable for those who are still working towards these subjects.

We strive to offer places to all genuine applicants on Computing courses at both our King's Lynn and Wisbech sites. However, to ensure a place is available to all applicants (at the level of study suited to them), we may have to confirm the alternative campus for their choice of study, where 'home to college' travel distances would otherwise exclude some learners.

How will it be delivered and assessed?

Two units are assessed via online exams. All other units are internally assessed via technical reports and project-based work.
