Introduction
About your IT Cambridge National course and qualification

The IT industry is fast-moving and varied: it includes careers within specialist technology and telecommunications organisations alongside IT roles in areas such as finance, health, retail and media. You might want to work in applications or game development, data analysis, or engineering, for example. Whatever you choose, you will benefit from having a wide range of IT technical, data and creative skills.
During your course, you will learn about how IT is used in an increasingly digital world (including the Internet of Everything), data manipulation and Augmented Reality. You’ll have a chance to develop skills relevant for a range of roles while designing, creating, testing and reviewing IT solutions and products.
