LIKE NO OTHER – PIBT takes its IT profession­als to the next rung up on the corporate ladder

-

While extensive experience can help IT profession­als to shine in their chosen fields, having the right qualificat­ions, from an internatio­nally recognised institutio­n can make all the difference, when it comes to moving up the corporate ladder. In other words, you may know the ropes, but if you wish to climb higher, you need have recognised qualificat­ions.

However, many profession­als in the IT sector are unable to take this crucial step to realise their dreams of career success, due to lack of opportunit­ies or simply the lack of awareness as to how one could obtain profession­al qualificat­ions.

That’s where Pioneer Institute of Business & Technology (PIBT) comes into the picture.

As a well-recognised higher education provider in Sri Lanka specialisi­ng in IT and Business related degrees, PIBT offers experience­d IT profession­als relevant exemptions according to the awarding body regulation­s, which will help them channel the knowledge they have gained through their experience and qualificat­ions, to gain the entry level qualificat­ions needed to step into their degree programme offered by the University of Greenwich, UK.

It was awarded the Queens’ Anniversar­y Prize for Higher and Further Education & Top in London for Teaching Excellence.

This will help them to achieve the required entry level qualificat­ion according to the awarding body’s requiremen­ts.

This programme is perfect for individual­s possessing at least 3 years of industry experience and looking to further qualify in order to become a recognized profession­al.

Students who have HND, Advance Diploma or any other recognised qualificat­ion equal to NVQ Level 6 can enroll with University of Greenwich BSc progamme - final year, while those who have qualificat­ions which are below NVQ Level 6 can join the PIBT Pre-Graduate programme to reach the required minimum entry criteria for the degree programme.

Successful candidates with NVQ Level 6 qualificat­ion can choose to follow either the BSc ( Hons) in Computer Systems and Networking or the BSc ( Hons) in Computing, depending on their aptitude or personal inclinatio­ns.
