Credit Value: 15
Guided Learning hours: 150
Organisation: EduQual
Unit Specification: This unit aims to build a learner’s working, practical knowledge of both spoken English and formal, written English. Learners that complete this unit will gain the transferable skills necessary to participate in academic studies that are taught and assessed in English.
Credit Value: 15
Guided Learning hours: 150
Organisation: EduQual
Unit Specification: Learners study the fundamental principles of how computer systems work, including the role of hardware and software, the way components of a system work together and how data in a system is used. Knowing how and why computer components, and the data they use, perform in certain ways has a significant impact on the work of all computing professionals. In technical support roles, understanding how different parts of a system integrate facilitates accurate identification of problems and efficient solutions. Professional programmers use their understanding of the way the computer operates to develop more efficient software solutions. In this unit, learners explore the relationship between hardware and software as part of a computer system. Learners examine the way computer components work both individually and together to store and process data, and the way in which data is transmitted and used in computer systems. Learners also explore the impact that computing systems have on organisations and individuals.

Unit Specification: This unit enables learners to understand how the role of management and leadership in the workplace contributes towards business success. Managers are vital to the running of any business; they shape and influence business through their managerial performance and leadership. In this unit, learners will examine how businesses adapt their approaches to management in response to challenges in their environment. Depending on their roles and responsibilities, managers need to develop skill sets that enable them to work effectively in areas such as the management of people, financial, resource and quality management, and the management of change. Learners will investigate some of the issues that managers and leaders have to deal with in the workplace in making businesses more efficient and ensuring their survival and growth. The effective planning and organising of a business’s activity can significantly influence the success of a business. This unit will help learners to progress to employment (e.g. to a career working in supervision and management), and/or to vocational training. Additionally, learners might move on to related higher education having developed a knowledge and understanding
of management.

Unit Specification: Learners will study the principles of systems analysis and develop the skills to analyse and design a solution to meet an organisation’s needs. Most organisations and businesses rely on computer systems to support their activities. These systems are often unique to the organisation where they are implemented. Systems analysis is a process that identifies the computing needs of an organisation, designs solutions and plans changes and updates. Systems analysts need to be able to solve problems and have a thorough knowledge of computer software and hardware. In this unit, learners will learn how to use systems analysis methods to examine an organisation and analyse its current systems. In many cases, the organisation will already have a computer system and will have decided to revise their current system because of a change in their activities or investment in new technology. Learners will be able to plan for the implementation of a new or revised system that is specific to the client’s requirements. The design that they develop may be used to develop a new IT system or develop an existing one. A computing professional will need a detailed knowledge of how organisations work. By completing this unit, learners will gain an understanding of how to investigate the way in which an organisation functions. The analytical skills developed in this unit will be of great benefit in many different computing career paths, including progression to a programmer or systems analyst role. For those learners progressing to higher education, systems analysis is a subject included in many computer science degrees.

Unit Specification: Learners will study the impact that developments in computing have on organisations and wider society, and develop a plan to implement a technology development. The rapid development of computer technology over the past 50 years or so has had a tremendous impact on the lives of individuals and on the ways in which organisations work. Computer technology has created completely new business opportunities, revolutionising the world of work. As someone working in computing development, it is important that you understand the impact of computer technology. In this unit, you will develop an understanding of the positive and negative impacts of computing development on an organisation or business when it implements a new system. You will consider the general impact on individuals and society as a whole, and the potential impacts of computing development in the future. You will then develop a plan to implement a computing technology development in an organisation and review the plan you have developed. This unit is relevant to anyone working in computing, as an understanding of the impact of changes in technology is crucial. It will be of particular relevance to those progressing to higher education and pursuing careers in software development, as a software developer or programmer, who need to appreciate how the systems they are developing can impact an organisation.
