Digital Technologies Level 2

Love tech and want to know how it all works? On this course you'll take computers apart and build them back up, install operating systems, set up networks, discover the basics of cyber security and start coding your own programs, websites and apps. You'll work in specialist labs including our Cisco Academy and hear directly from the tech industry. Previous masterclasses have come from Microsoft, Sopra Steria, UKFast and Cisco. It's the perfect launchpad for a T Level or Level 3 in digital.

A mix of assignments, internally set exams and synoptic projects.

Successful completion of this course will allow you to progress to a Level 3 Digital T Level (Digital Infrastructure or Software Development), the T Level Digital Foundation year or a Level 3 digital course. You could also move into an IT apprenticeship. In the longer term, digital careers include IT Technician, Network Engineer, Cyber Security Specialist, Software Developer and Computer Forensics. Software developers are the single most in-demand creative-industries role, with around 82,700 extra needed by 2035, and they're wanted in many other sectors too (Skills England, 2026). In Manchester, programmers were the most advertised job in August 2025 (ONS data).
