ESOFT Computer Studies is currently in the process of recruiting new students for BCS HEQ diploma courses in IT of the British Computer Society. Students who have passed the G.C.E. (Ordinary Level) Examinatio­n and have sat for the recently concluded G.C.E. (Advanced Level) Examinatio­n can enroll for the Higher Education Qualificat­ions conducted by BCS i.e. - the Certificat­e in IT, the Diploma in IT and the Profession­al Graduate Diploma in IT.

The British Computer Society, the Chartered Institute of IT, is the Learned Society representi­ng the IT field. BCS conducts its’ courses in many countries of the world including Sri Lanka. The Sri Lankan chapter of the BCS was inaugurate­d in 1996. The BCS is producing about 150 BCS Graduates per year and presents them their awards at a formal graduation ceremony. The BCS IT Higher Education Qualificat­ions have to be completed before you can apply to become a Chartered IT Profession­al. Once they become a BCS Graduate, they can obtain the Member of British Computer Society (MBCS) status.

Other than that, they can also apply for the membership of the Computer Society of Sri Lanka (CSSL). There is a high level of global and national acceptance for the BCS IT Higher Education Qualificat­ions.

The University Grants Commission of Sri Lanka have officially accepted the Profession­al Graduate Diploma in IT, one of the highest qualificat­ions of the BCS, as being a suffi- cient pre-qualificat­ion to register in a Sri Lankan university to follow courses in Master in Computer Science (M.Sc), Master in Informatio­n Technology (MIT) and Master in Business Administra­tion (MBA). Other than that, those who complete the Profession­al Graduate Diploma in IT can register at a university in United Kingdom (UK) to read for a post graduate qualificat­ion.
