FdSc Computer Systems Management (with HP Certified Professional)
The national and local labour market information that tells us that the UK IT industry is facing a skills shortage. The national picture shows that the skills gaps are particularly pronounced in the areas of systems integration, systems testing, and systems installation and commissioning. As a result the FdSc in Computer Systems Management has been developed in conjunction with Hewlett Packard, one of the world's leading ICT solution providers, to provide a generic core set of skills that will enable foundation graduates to undertake a wide range of roles together with specialist, up to date, industry designed training and education that specifically addresses the major skills gap.
Attendance is alternate Saturdays plus one evening alternate weeks, plus some commercial training.
