Introduction

The Level 3 Extended Diploma in Computing is aimed at learners looking to progress into employment in one of the fastest-growing sectors in the UK economy – either directly or following further training such as an Apprenticeship or Higher Education.

The Digital Sector employs 58,000 people in Yorkshire and Humberside and has grown by over 30% in the last 5 years. It is estimated it will be worth over £2.88 billion. Local cities like Leeds are at the forefront of the digital sector, with SkyBet and Channel 4 using it as a base. It is also the host of one of the UK's largest digital events: Leeds Digital Festival.

Throughout the Level 3 Extended Diploma in Computing course, you will work on projects with local employers such as Lloyds Banking Group and Covéa Insurance. Utilising agile project management, you will be asked to build systems or develop software to a brief set by IT professionals currently working in the industry. As part of a group, you will develop a solution to the set problem and then present it to them as you would in the workplace. These industry links will allow you to experience first-hand what a career in this fast-paced sector can be like.
