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.
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.”
“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.”
