About this Event
About the Event
You’ll find computing at the centre of almost all businesses and, as a result, employment opportunities within the sector are huge.
We offer a range of qualifications that support a variety of interesting careers, from games and apps development, through to forensic computing and cyber security.
Our industry-experienced lecturers will give you the knowledge and skills you need to develop your own computing competency, in an area that interests you.
