Syllabus

“Computer Systems Fundamentals”

This unit is designed to provide candidates with knowledge of the various hardware and software elements of a computer system, how to install an operating system, and how to install and configure application and security software. Candidates will also be introduced to the theory and practical application of number systems in computing. It is not intended that students gain an in-depth knowledge of any particular operating system or applications software. The unit provides a foundation for further study of particular operating systems.

“Professionalism and Ethics in Computing”

This unit is designed to provide candidates with a knowledge and understanding of professional issues, including contemporary legislation, and ethical considerations for those fulfilling a computing related role within the workplace. This unit is intended for candidates whose aim is to follow a career, or is currently following a career, as a computing professional to ensure work duties are carried out responsibly.

“Team Working in Computing”

This unit will provide candidates with the opportunity to develop effective skills for team working in the context of computing. Candidates will develop co-operative working skills which will include negotiation of goals, roles and responsibilities in the development of a team based Information and Communication Technology (ICT) project. Candidates, both individually as a team, will present the project outcomes within the timescale prescribed by the team. Individual progress will be tracked against a project plan and the team will develop skills in updating the plan to ensure that the project is delivered on time. Individual team members will contribute to any necessary research and to documentation of the group’s activities.

“Troubleshooting Computer Problems”

This unit is designed to provide candidates with the skills required to develop a possible solution to a computing problem in the context of computer networking, software development or technical support. Candidates will learn how to investigate the problem, plan and implement a solution, test and amend it until the problem is resolved and document each step taken to solve the problem.

“Computing: Introduction to Project Management”

This unit will enable candidates to develop the basic knowledge and skills required to plan, implement, monitor, manage and report on a small scale project.

The unit is intended for candidates who are working or preparing to work in an environment where they would be expected to work as part of a project managed team in the public, private or voluntary sectors. This unit will aid the candidates understanding of how projects are created run and managed.

“Database Design Fundamentals”

This unit is designed to provide the candidate with the skills required to create, maintain and interrogate a relational database management system using commercially available database software. The resultant skills will help prepare the candidate to enter commercially operated database environments and to administer the system to the requirements of the industry. The unit is primarily aimed as an introduction to relational database management systems and will incorporate the skills to design a suitable structure to maintain and update real world systems. The unit is written in generic terms enabling it to be completed using a commercially available relational database management system software and may be delivered as part of an HN Group Award.

“Personal Development Planning”

Through a process of Personal Development Planning, candidates will identify their skills, abilities and development needs and review these in the context of their own personal, educational and career aims. They will devise a personal action plan, then undertake and evaluate that plan. They will gather, organize and present evidence of each stage of the plan – including personal reviews – in their personal development portfolio.

“Relational Databases”

This unit is designed to introduce candidates to the design and creation of a Relational Database Management System (RDBMS). It also introduces candidates to the terminology and key concepts used in the designing and building of a RDBMS and the process of creating a relational database. The candidate needs to demonstrate an understanding of these key concepts, and the need for good design.

“SQL: Introduction”

This unit is designed to develop a broad knowledge of the concepts, principles, boundaries and scope of relational databases using a query language. These will be reinforced by developing the practical skills required in using the structures and features of a query language in order to maintain and interrogate a relational database management system. The SQL constructs used adhere to the current standards, so will be applicable in all SQL-based platforms. It forms part of an HN group award program, although it can also be used as a stand-alone unit by candidates wishing to acquire and develop skills using a query language.

“Mathematics for Computing 1”

This unit is designed to allow candidates to acquire the fundamental mathematical knowledge required to apply computing techniques to problem situations effectively. Candidates will be able to create a mathematical model or express a problem mathematically. It is primarily intended for candidates who will specialize in programming or candidates who require a deeper understanding of computer operation at a basic hardware level.

“Research Skills”

This unit is about developing the candidate’s ability to access and evaluate information from a variety of primary and secondary sources by planning and reporting on a research investigation. It is aimed at those who need to access and analyze information as part of their course of study.

“Computing: Graded Unit 1”

This graded unit is designed to provide evidence that the candidate has achieved the following principal aims of the Advanced Certificate in Computing:

  • To develop the candidate’s knowledge and skills such as planning, analyzing and synthesizing
  • To develop study and research skills
