SQA Advanced Diploma in Computing: Networking

The rapid growth of the internet and e-business in the modern world has resulted in a global shortage of staff with the practical skills and theoretical knowledge to enable them to work in the networking and internet-related sector.

An SQA Advanced Diploma in Computing: Networking covers all the fundamental aspects of computer networking and internet technology — including routing and switching technology, local area networks infrastructure and maintenance.

The SQA Advanced Diploma in Computing: Networking consists of 30 unit credits. Each unit credit has approximately 40 hours of timetabled learning and 40 hours of self-guided learning and study. The SQA Advanced Diploma usually takes two academic years to complete, but this timeframe is flexible.

SQA Advanced Diploma in Computing: Networking can allow advanced entry to an English-speaking university. SQA’s qualifications are recognised worldwide.
