Thinking of teaching this qualification?

  • Withdrawal of Level 4 Cambridge Technical Diploma in IT

    Following a review of the Cambridge Technical qualifications we have made the difficult decision to withdraw the Level 4 Diploma in IT due to low uptake. We will continue to support and assess the qualifications up to the final certification date shown below: 

    The last date to enter students is: 31 August 2017.

    The last certification date is: 31 December 2019.

This qualification enables learners to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills they need to progress onto higher education or employment. A range of optional units have been developed to equip learners with a valuable transferable skill set. These include the ‘specialist mathematics for computing’ unit that we have developed to equip learners with the mathematical skills needed for computing.

Benefits

  • Cambridge Technicals suit all learning styles
  • This qualification can be used to prepare learners for higher education or progression within their existing employment
  • Provide an attractive option for those wishing to up-skill to improve their employment prospects.
