Course Portfolio
We
offer a wide range of
I.C.T.
(Information, Communication and Technology) courses. Our
total
course offering can be seen below. However, we
cannot run all of the courses during the same period due to tutor and
room availability so we try to run a variety of courses each term,
based on demand. If you are interested in attending one of our courses,
please complete an enquiry
form.
We will then add your details to our database and note your interest.
You will then automatically receive our next programme of courses so
that you can see if your desired course is running. This
programme
will also provide details of
the Enrolment Day so that you can come along to register for a place on
your chosen course.
If you are unable to decide
which course will best meet your ICT learning needs, you may find our Flow Chart will help.
