The flexibility is one of the most important aspects. Students can work at their own pace, receive immediate feedback and get a nationally recognised qualification.

A much more accessible course for both students and teachers.

The programme has been set out and explained very well.

I left school with little computing experience, but this course has allowed me to go back to college and get knowledge and skills relating to digital literacy.

I feel I have achieved a lot. The course has boosted my confidence and increased my employability skills.

Studying a Course in a community setting is ideal, local, very friendly, internet access excellent. I have developed my oral, written and communications skills.

I found the course good and gained useful computing skills, for example, for use in essay writing.

Lecturers are friendly, helpful and motivational.

Initially doing the NQ just gave me an insight into what it was like studying as a mature student. I kept studying and completed an HNC, an HND, then a degree. I am now back at college, but this time as a lecturer!
