Prep courses Note: Prep courses are prerequisites for different pathways.
Prep courses Students may take one or both prep courses. Computer Science Students develop their own programming-based solutions to a given brief. The emphasis is on developing an understanding of programming in the context of the Python language. Students use an integrated development environment, such as PyCharm or Replit. They also learn how to comment code and develop a development log to show their testing and trialling. Prerequisite for: Level 2 Digital Technologies. Digital Technologies Students are able to develop their own Digital Media solutions to a brief they create. The emphasis is on developing skills that can include UX Design, HTML, CSS and Javascript coding, 3D modelling, animation, branding and photo editing in a website or application context. Students have access to text editors, Adobe Design software, and 3D design software (Blender). They also learn how to comment code and develop a development log to show their testing and trialling. Prerequisite for: Level 2 Digital Technologies.
Wood Construction Students develop their skills and understanding of workshop techniques in a wood-based context through the construction of a set project. They are introduced to a range of hand tools and machinery used in the building and construction industry. They learn to read and build from a working drawing. Prerequisite for: Level 2 Building & Construction. Metal Construction Students develop their skills and understanding of workshop techniques in a metal-based context through the construction of a set project. They are introduced to a range of hand tools and machinery used in the engineering industry. They learn to read and build from a working drawing. Prerequisite for: Level 2 Mechanical Engineering. Materials Technology Students develop their skills and understanding of the design process in a materials-based context through the design, prototyping, and construction of an outcome that meets the requirements of a brief. They apply a range of workshop techniques and tools, working with different materials. Students learn to research, generate, and refine ideas with stakeholder feedback, produce working drawings, and build from them accurately. Emphasis is placed on safe and effective use of hand tools and machinery, along with developing problem-solving and craftsmanship skills. Recommended for: Level 2 Materials Technology.
