V Level Digital Systems and Data

V Levels are new Level 3 vocational qualifications designed to give students flexible, future-focused study options. Equivalent in size to one A-level, they combine essential sector knowledge with applied learning, helping you develop practical, work-relevant skills and explore different career pathways.

This is a broad and varied course that offers a range of opportunities for students to develop an understanding of Information Technology and it’s uses in the business environment. The course is composed of both internally assessed units (coursework) and externally assessed units (examination) in both Year 12 and Year 13.

Students have many opportunities outside of the classroom to develop links with local businesses and professionals, this is vital in strengthening understanding the course content while developing and enhancing your CV.

Students are encouraged to expand their own learning by taking part in a variety of online courses, with students in the past gaining certificates in Digital Marketing from Google Garage and Artificial Intelligence from the University of Helsinki.

Many Information Technology students go on to study Information Technology related courses in Higher Education. However, the course has been developed in conjunction with leading businesses and universities in order to deliver the skills and knowledge required by employers and we have many students who have secured places of apprenticeship schemes including Bentley, Barclays and ATOS.
