Dell Technologies Bridge to Tech with CompTIA ITF+
This opportunity gives students in Year 12, 13 or FE colleges the chance to gain a solid foundation in various tech-related topics, employability skills, and prepare for the CompTIA ITF+ certification.
What's involved?
Your students have the unique opportunity to achieve an industry-recognised computing accreditation funded by Dell Technologies.
This is a great opportunity for students who are looking to launch a career in IT, computing or the wider tech and digital sectors to make their CVs stand out from the crowd - whether taking the next steps into the world of work, an apprenticeship or higher education.
Over the course of 12 weeks (1 x 1.5 - 2-hour virtual session per week), students will gain a solid foundation in various tech-related topics, employability skills, and prepare for the CompTIA ITF+ certification. Students will be connected with Dell mentors in these 12 virtual sessions.
Students will be asked to dedicate time for self-study for the exam, but will be supported by expert mentors, and will gain a qualification equivalent to a Level 3, providing an amazing launch pad into the industry and working world.
