Course Overview

Course Overview
Kickstart your tech journey with our Level 1 BTEC in ICT: foundational skills, essential software understanding and practical digital communication tools for the modern world.
This is a course that will develop your skills in using digital communication technologies, including email, social media and audio-visual communications safely for a given purpose. You will develop the skills to organise a meeting and record the outcomes from it along with planning your next education or employment path. Whilst maths and English will be appropriately supported you will need a basic level of English. As part of the first session, we ask learners to complete a short English and basic numeracy assessment, as you will be building a portfolio over the 12 weeks and will need good understanding to complete the written work. You will be supported throughout the course by your tutor and other learners.
