Overview

This course will enable you to pursue a career in an industry related to developing complex information systems, processing of enterprise data and controlling business processes to guarantee usability, security, manageability and quality of information services according to the modern standards of the cyber age. The focus of the course is on the three recent movements within the IT industry – Cloud Computing, Big Data and Internet of Things. The course will be based in the substantial use of industrial scale operating systems, development tools and software technologies for data, system and service development integration and control – Linux and Windows operating systems, Oracle database, Hadoop distributed file system, Java Enterprise and Python programming. It will also make use of highly sophisticated services provided by giants like Google and Amazon, as well as new technologies for integration of embedded devices such as Arduino and Raspberry. By the end of the course you'll be prepared and trained for positions within the financial, retail and entertainment sectors.

A regulated qualification is delivered by a learning institution which is regulated by a government body. In England, the government body which regulates courses is Ofqual. Ofqual regulated qualifications sit on the Regulated Qualifications Framework (RQF), which can help students understand how different qualifications in different fields compare to each other. The framework also helps students to understand what qualifications they need to progress towards a higher learning goal, such as a university degree or equivalent higher education award.

An endorsed course is a skills based course which has been checked over and approved by an independent awarding body. Endorsed courses are not regulated so do not result in a qualification - however, the student can usually purchase a certificate showing the awarding body's logo if they wish. Certain awarding bodies - such as Quality Licence Scheme and TQUK - have developed endorsement schemes as a way to help students select the best skills based courses for them.
