PTT online course levels

 

PTT online courses are categorised by one of three levels according to the depth of treatment they provide:

 

Level 1: Introductory:

PTT Introductory courses are designed for those with no previous experience or knowledge of digital technology. These courses provide an overview of telecommunications or discuss the fundamentals of electronic communications and ICT. The study of general science at secondary (high) school is a typical pre-requisite for PTT Introductory courses.

PTT Introductory courses are suitable for those joining the ICT sector particularly those in an apprenticeship programme.

 

 

Level 2: Intermediate:

PTT Intermediate courses are designed for technicians and engineers requiring an understanding of a certain aspect of digital technology. Those planning to study an Intermediate course should understand the basic principles of computing or electronic communications.
The depth of treatment provided by Intermediate courses is typically equivalent to level 3 of a UK national vocational qualification (NVQ).

PTT Intermediate courses can be used to support level 3 digital apprenticeships.

 

 

Level 3: Advanced:
