As part of the course, you’ll take part in visits to local employers to gain insight into real-world computing environments and technical operations. You’ll have the chance to complete additional industry-recognised certifications from leading providers such as Cisco, Microsoft, and Juniper, helping you build a CV that stands out. As a CyberFirst Gold Partner, we work closely with a wide range of local and multinational tech companies to give you access to guest speakers, live project briefs, and valuable work placement opportunities. You’ll also have the chance to showcase your skills in competitions such as the Lancashire Cyber Championships and WorldSkills, where students compete at regional and national levels. 

These experiences support your learning in the classroom and give you a deeper understanding of the digital roles available across the computing sector.
