Industrial route to the highly popular Edexcel HND in Computing and Systems Development
View(s):Another first by OpenArc Campus Edexcel HND is one of the most popular higher education qualification among the post A/L students in Sri Lanka. This is exciting news for students wishing to pursue this popular route to their foreign degrees. OpenArc Campus offers the Industrial Route to Edexcel HND by combining on-the-job training in software development as an integral part of the Edexcel HND in Computing and Systems Development by OpenArc Campus. Thus OpenArc Campus establishes itself as the only institution offering industrial route to Edecxel HND in Computing and Systems Development. “We have been effectively integrating genuine on-the-job training with academic programmes for many years so that students no longer need to experience a painful transition period from higher education to real life work” says the Chairman of the OpenArc Group, Mr. Daya Hettiarachchi. “Equally, no post A/L student need to postpone pursuing higher education upon successfully completing A/Ls in order to gain work experience. Our “Industrial Route” provides the best of both worlds- academic qualifications and Industry training- at the same time at no additional cost”.
Therefore Students enrolling this year in Edexcel HND programme at OpenArc Campus could obtain “Double Specialisation”. By the end of their successful completion of first 12 months of Full-time HND programme they obtain the industry recognised Industrial Diploma in Software Development (IDSD) along with a certification for the Industrial training undergone by them.
The industrial training is conducted by the sister company of OpenArc Campus – OpenArc System Management (OSM) which is a leading software development house. The Edexcel HND programme at OpenArc Campus could be completed within a total of 18 months with no additional cost to the student for the Industrial training. Therefore it is indeed a distinct advantage from the students’ point of view to be Industry ready along with a highly recognized qualification. For parents who fund or subsidize their children’s higher education, it is a real value addition to have their children made work- ready even before the completion of their degree programme at no additional cost.
What’s more, students following the industrial route usually do very well at their degree studies as the past has clearly indicated. Last year (2012) some of the students on the Industrial Route to the Bachelor of Information Technology (BIT), passed out with coveted “First Class” from their degree programme while others moved on very rapidly to Masters and other postgraduate level studies. Needless to say, those who complete their HND at OpenArc Campus on the Industrial route have a big advantage over others following any other routes to a degree. Considering the huge benefits, OpenArc urges all those who are contemplating to pursue higher education to seriously consider an INDUSTRIAL ROUTE to their degree.
