Course Description

Boost your IT skills by enrolling on this advanced course, which covers a range of subject areas including software design, animation, computer games, website production, digital graphics and much more.

MidKent College is a CISCO Networking Academy Partner, which at the Medway Campus allows us to deliver a range of accredited courses including IT Essentials, Discovery 1 and Discovery 2. These will prepare you to take certifications such as CCENT and CompTIA A+, both of which are widely recognised as an indication of suitability for employment or higher education.

At the Maidstone Campus we have developed a course that emphasises both technical skills (supported by our new practical lab) and creative skills based on graphical, web and programming units.
