Level 5 Diploma in Computing (L5DC)
Course Description
The NCC Education Level 5 Diploma in Computing (L5DC) is an Ofqual regulated qualification. The qualification (with specialisms) makes up the second year of the NCC Education degree journey and builds upon the knowledge gained during the NCC Education Level 4 Diploma in Computing (L4DC) or the NCC Education Level 4 Diploma in Computing with Business Management (L4DC BM), exposing students to greater detail and more advanced topics in a range of areas including database development, information systems analysis, network security and cryptography. Students will study a balance of academic and vocational subjects in order to provide the necessary knowledge and skills to play a significant role in IT organisations. On successful completion of the qualification students will be able to complete the final year of a degree with the NCC Education Business Computing and Information Systems Top Up validated by the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), the University of Greenwich Computing Top-Up delivered at our Accredited Partner Centres, at one of the many universities that recognise NCC Education qualifications, or pursue a career in the IT industry.

I had little background in food safety, but this course broke everything down clearly. The feedback I received after the quiz helped me see where I can feel more confident applying these principles at work. Highly recommended for anyone in the food industry!
This course gave me a solid understanding of food safety risks and how to manage them. The real-world examples were particularly helpful and relate to my daily tasks. Would love to see even more interactive content in future versions.
