			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Information Systems is still one of the newest industries in the world. It is a field of almost limitless career opportunities with large number of interconnected opportunities for career development, ranging from the most mundane types of work using a word processor, to the most exciting which might involve the design of components used for space travel meaning that the most satisfactory and fulfilling careers are those that have been well planned. In between these extremes there are a very wide variety of jobs demanding knowledge of the various aspects of the computing industry and using skills such as programming or systems analysis.<br />
The IMIS Syllabus is divided into three grades, as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Foundation Diploma</strong></p>
<p>This leads to IMIS Practitioner Grade. It was introduced to provide a route for candidates to gain entry to our Diploma Course examination. This course is also suitable for young people who want to work with computers and need some entry level education. All modules defined within the course structure may be taken individually or collectively to form a Foundation Diploma. Each module is designed to introduce the student to the basic elements of information systems practices.</p>
<p><strong>Diploma </strong></p>
<p>This is continued from the Foundation Diploma level although access at this level is also available to candidates who comply with the entrance requirements. Candidates having completed the Diploma Course could be working at the equivalent level of early entry analysts.</p>
<p><strong>Higher Diploma </strong></p>
<p>This extends and complements the Diploma Course to give students a comprehensive knowledge of the entire field of operations, programming, systems analysis and design, and computer management.<br />
The college offers levels from the Diploma level to the Higher Diploma level.</p>
