Access Foundation in English and IT (Dual Qualification)

About this course

The Access Foundation in English and IT is a five-month intensive programme at BCAS Campus for students who have completed their O/Levels. It is a dual qualification made up of Fundamentals in IT and the Certificate in English, so students leave with two certificates, one from BCAS Campus and one from Pearson, UK. The page lists the awarding body as Pearson Assured with BCAS Campus. On the IT side the content covers MS Office, web development, programming, networking, and data analytics and process modelling. On the English side students work on writing, speaking, listening and reading. Classes are held on weekdays or weekends and are delivered fully on campus at the Colombo campus only. BCAS presents this as the first step in a pathway that runs from the Access programme to the Foundation in Business and Information Technology (FBIT), then to a Pearson BTEC Higher National Diploma and finally a degree. The page does not describe specific job outcomes.
