6 Months Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Information Technology
Overview
The OTHM Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Information Technology aims to provide learners with the essential skills and knowledge for careers in IT or further studies in the field.
This qualification enables learners to gain sector-specific knowledge and develop skills in areas like computer systems, networks, coding, website development, mobile communication, cybersecurity, and social media for business.
The OTHM Level 3 qualifications are open to learners aged 16 and above, with no specified entry criteria. However, OTHM ensures that all learners entering the programme are adequately prepared to handle the learning and assessment requirements.
We are responsible for enrolling learners with integrity, ensuring they are aligned with suitable qualifications that meet their needs, facilitate learning, and support progression. This qualification is taught in English.
English Language Requirements: Learners from non-majority English-speaking countries must provide proof of English language proficiency
OTHM Level 3 qualifications equate to practical skills, knowledge, and competencies similar to those assessed at GCE AS/A Levels.
The Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Information Technology consists of six mandatory units, totaling 60 credits, 600 hours of Total Qualification Time (TQT), and 240 Guided Learning Hours (GLH).
Mandatory Units:
· Computer Systems (10 credits)
· Coding and Website Development (10 credits)
· Networks (10 credits)

This qualification is structured to be completed within6 months for full-time students but offers flexibility to accommodate part-time and distance learning. Delivery options include face-to-face sessions, lectures, tutorials, seminars, as well as online or distance learning, exclusively by us.
Each unit in this qualification is assessed internally by the centre and externally verified by OTHM. The qualification follows a criterion-referenced approach, meaning learners must achieve all specified learning outcomes to pass each unit.
To pass a unit, learners need to present evidence demonstrating they have met the learning outcomes and assessment criteria. The assessor will then make a judgment based on this evidence, providing an audit trail to document the learner’s achievements.
Upon completing the OTHM Level 3 Foundation Diploma in Information Technology, learners can advance to various OTHM Level 4 diplomas or pursue entry-level positions in the IT field. For more details, please visit our London De Academy website or contact us.
