 Net2Work ICT Certificate

The certificate course in Information and Communication Technology is designed to provide students with a firm foundation of knowledge and practical computer experience. The course normally runs for 3 months, but this can be flexible to suit the needs of the community.

The course is split into 7 tutor-led modules, and students are able to consolidate their understanding and gain practical experience by using computers at every stage.

Each module is assessed with computer-based multiple-choice software, and either practical exercises or project work.
