The BTEC Level 3 Computing is a fantastic course for students looking to develop a career in fields such as software development, cyber security, systems analysis, web development & games development.

• Computational thinking
• Standard methods and techniques used to develop algorithms
• Programming paradigms
• Types of programming and mark-up languages.

This requires you to really get to grips with understanding common programming practices, including pseudocode, and languages like C#, VB.NET and Python.

If you’re studying the BTEC Level 3 Diploma in IT, or the BTEC Level 3 Extended Diploma in IT, then Unit 11 Cyber Security and Incident Management is a mandatory unit. However, there was never any official textbook or revision guide released for this externally assessed unit. I know this was a major cause of concern for many teachers.

Thankfully, you don’t need to go into the delivery of this unit with no resources to support you. Our course covers every topic of the BTEC Level 3 IT specification for this unit, providing you text explanations, quizzes and presentations to help teachers deliver the unit and students to study and revise.

Thi obviously follows on from our Unit 1 Information Technology Systems and Creating Systems to Manage Information revision courses, making KnowItAll Ninja a hugely valuable resource to your school or college.

Unit 11 Cyber Security and Incident Management

The lack of official resources for the Unit 11 Cyber Security & Incident Management controlled assessment is a bigger concern than most units, as it is externally assessed with a 10-hour exam condition activity. These controlled assessments have proven to be a real stumbling block from many students too. However, it is my belief that KnowItAll Ninja can really make a difference in your student’s success.

What is especially good news is that, if you’re a current subscriber to KnowItAll Ninja, then this brand new course is available completely for free. Just log in to your existing account and you can visit the course and access it right away.
