IT support courseshave always been a great way to enter into not only the workplace but also IT. First of all, a number of potential qualifications are relatively short, compared to three year undergraduate degrees. They can offer a great foundational overview of IT. And best of all, these programme can allow you to gain your experience more quickly. Obviously it is important to select the right institution.
One of the programmes on offer at Varsity College is a Higher Certificate in Information Technology . This particular programme takes one year to complete.
A three year diploma in IT and Software Development or in Network management is also on offer at Varsity College. These programmes provide an excellent opportunity to enter the workplace with a fantastic qualification, However, doing a Higher Certificate programme allows a student, unsure of their particular specialisation interest, to begin with a shorter generic IT support qualification and then move on to a longer diploma or degree, or enter the workplace immediately.
And with getting into the workplace faster, it also means that you’ll be able to get the all-important experience that employers value that much more quickly. At Varsity College we’ll this will be enhanced through our Work-Integrated Learning programme and though our Career Centre, which can put you in touch with employers and industry experts.
