The Cheltenham Partnership

Information Technology

For the Diploma in IT your course will look at 3 main areas:

  1. Business: How organisations work and the role technology can play
  2. People: How to work well with other people
  3. Technology: How to create technology solutions

Plus a cross theme of multimedia, looking at how to design and develop a multimedia product for a particular audience.

If you’re doing a Higher or Advanced Diploma, you’ll look at the same themes but in more detail. Like planning and project management, the impact technology has on society, organisations and individuals with a global focus, plus how internet and mobile communications have transformed the business world.

 

In Cheltenham

This diploma has been running for 2 years and for 2010 is being offered at Level 2.

The main part of your diploma work (the principal learning) will happen on a full day each week, for the full day. During the first year you will study your first four units of work partly at Christ College, a specialist sports college, and partly at Gloucestershire College. Studying the remaining three units during your second year you will again be split between Christ College and Gloucestershire College, which is a recognised Centre of Vocational Excellence (CoVE) in Information Technology Services (ITS).
