Computing Programmes are in high and increasing demand,
especially in large metropolitan areas like London and the Home Counties. The
number of IT/Technology based start-ups and companies expanding in this area
have made higher computing skills more desirable to enable these companies to do
business.
The Pearson BTEC Higher Nationals in Computing are designed
to help students secure the knowledge, skills and behaviours needed to succeed
in the workplace. They represent the latest in professional standards and
provide opportunities for students to develop behaviours for work, for example
by undertaking a group project, or responding to a client brief. A student may
even achieve membership of selected professional bodies, to help them on their
journey to professional competence.
