Examination Board Profile

Higher Education, training and professional programmes are no longer once in-a-lifetime requirements. Today’s pace of change in technology demands that we understand the world around us. Time is also at a premium so that study periods need to be designed to complement and interact with work and family responsibilities.

With this in mind, The Business and Computing Examinations developed a wide range of computer studies which explains in detail today’s world of computers and their implementation within the industrial, commercial or public sector; which you can undertake within a very short-time and keep pace with everyday changing technology.

Whether you are in work and considering your next career move, or a training officer of a company whose personnel needs updating to acquire new skills, or someone who has taken a career break and now requires updating, Business and Computing Examinations can provide just the right course for your immediate and longer term plans. We hope you will find this prospectus stimulating and informative, and look forward to you registering for a course.

Computers in General

Computers have intruded into the life of everyone. Evidence suggests that the use of computers will continue to grow at an ever increasing speed. Computers are not being used merely to replace existing manual operations with computerised systems exhibiting better efficiency and responsiveness, but new applications are being developed whose very existence would not be possible without the computer.

Most people, however, understand little about computers and find the computerised society a frightening prospect. The exact nature of future society is not predictable, but what is certain is that we must all, irrespective of age, come to terms with the role of computers in our society. The only way to achieve this is to understand what a computer is, and what it can do for us - just like what you are about to do now!

How to obtain your programmes

We supply study manuals, you read and do all the assignments, then you will gain new skills, knowledge and experience which you can apply immediately.
