English and Computing

Combine your English lessons with a course in Computing! Our friendly computing staff have expertise in Information Technology and are experienced in teaching a range of courses. The College is registered as an OCR CLAIT/IBT and City and Guilds Examination Centre.

We offer 3 short, part-time courses in computing and also a longer, full-time course leading to a Diploma in Information Technology.

The 3 short courses are:

• Introduction to PC – for anyone who wants to start using a Personal Computer

These courses last 2-3 weeks and you can start any Monday. Students study for 2 hours a day (from 18:30-20:30) as well as their English lessons. Teachers are available at all times in the computer classrooms for help and suggestions.

Our full-time Information Technology Diploma course is 36 weeks in duration and students study for 3 hours per day, as well as their English lessons. You can have your computing lessons from 09:00 - 12:00, or 12:10 - 15:10 or 15:20 - 18:20.
