Start with:
- COMP 1002 – Applied Computer Concepts – become an expert Windows PC user; this course, or equivalent knowledge, is the foundation for all other COMP courses
Then move on with one of:
- COMP 1516 – Programming Fundamentals Part 1 (Python) – learn code to build software
- COMP 1630 – Relational Database Design and SQL – use code to develop data systems
- COMP 1850 – Web Design and Development with HTML – write code to create a website
Work towards the Applied Computer Information Systems (ACIS) program and explore the foundations for each of the major Computing and IT sectors. ACIS is a step in the laddered credentials to the CST Diploma and Bachelor’s degree.
Start with just one course.
“COMP 1002 is perfect for anyone who wishes to develop a strong foundation in computing, better understand their Windows 11 PC, and troubleshoot issues.” – Computing faculty Fraser Robertson
Instructor Jeff Parker loves the creativity involved in building the web and COMP 1850: “The solution eventually presents itself, and an invigorating snap occurs as things fall into place.”
“I really appreciated the flexibility offered in studying evenings and weekends.” – Christian Fenn
“I thought it was not practical to start a career so late in life, with so many talented young people out there. I’m so glad I did.” –Lluvia Meneses
