Hello everyone, this is a strange post to have on here, but i'm trying to get as many suggestions/advice/viewpoints as possible to help me make my decision.
Ok so here it is, I am looking to take ICT at college next year, however I am unsure on which course I should take. They offer three different courses, all of which are level three courses, so i think they are the equivalent of each other?
1) Computing - A Level.
2) Information and Communication Technology -A level
3) Extended Diploma in ICT - BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma. (If I choose this course It will be the equivalent of 3 or 3.5 A levels, and therefore takes up all my timetable, meaning this is the only course I could take.) (Which does sound a lot like heaven hahaha!!! )
Do Universities look down on BTEC's or prefer A level to them or anything?
I am looking to take IT at uni after college and hopefully get a job in the world of IT!!
FYI - The teacher said that 3 of the students that took the BTEC and achieved Distinction (top marks) were picked up and funded by either Microsoft or IBM and after attending university offered a job with them! - Im really undecided, any advice?? Thanks!!
