International Advanced Diploma in Computer Studies Version 2 (IADCS) -NCC - UK.

IADCS Course Structure

The IADCS v2  Advanced Diploma programme is a fully modular course requiring completion of eight modules (4 compulsory modules and 4 elective modules) and a practical project. Electives are grouped into three topic streams allowing candidates to specialise in their chosen area. Each module is mutually exclusive therefore students can start at any time on the published study schedule. Modules are delivered over approximately six (6) weeks and the project, which normally runs over six months, may be started before the last module is completed. Candidates working on one module at a time can therefore expect to complete the course in around 18 months. If they work on two modules concurrently, the study time can be reduced.  

All the modules are essentially studied through a combination of: -

  • Virtual Classroom  (Online discussion, Chats, Private email)
  • Course Materials (textbooks and on-line study material)

Modules are studied through the virtual learning environment web site. Students are required to have an Internet account to access the World Wide Web for instructions, which will provide the detailed step-by-step approach in a virtual learning environment.
