Course Summary

The internet is an essential part of everyday life, used for shopping, communication, leisure, gaming and finding information, to name just a few. During this course you will develop skills that will allow you to analyse and use data in your other subjects and, looking ahead, will be extremely useful in the workplace.

Spreadsheets are used to store, organise, and analyse numerical data about everything from students' subject grades to sports results. On this course, you will develop the skills and knowledge needed to design, create, and test a fully functioning spreadsheet for a specified purpose. You will also learn how to present data by creating graphs and charts.

You will also learn to use IT tools to communicate and exchange information safely, securely, and effectively with diverse types of audiences as well as considering the impacts of IT on individuals and society.

Working as part of a cohesive group, receiving tutorial support and study skills assistance from our specialist staff, you will build the foundations to enable you to be successful on a level 3 study programme.
