At IT Professional Training (ITPT) in Edinburgh, we are committed to delivering high-quality education in Computing Science for students seeking National 5 and Higher qualifications. Our courses focus on both practical skills and theoretical knowledge, providing students with the essential tools for success in their studies and future careers. As a private training provider, we specialise in IT-related courses spanning SCQF Levels 4 to 9. We offer both part-time and full-time SQA qualifications, including HNC and HND levels. Our tutors possess extensive expertise in key areas, skills, and question types pertinent to preliminary exams. We integrate theoretical instruction with supervised practical experience, ensuring our courses feature comprehensive hands-on exercises that enhance students’ theoretical knowledge with practical skills.
Our fully qualified SQA Assessors and Tutors deliver high-quality lessons that focus on the required content, ensuring that each student can reach their full potential. We closely adhere to SQA guidelines and continuously update our lesson content as necessary. Our tuition is provided by experienced SQA teachers who possess in-depth knowledge of the syllabus and exam board requirements. We employ a comprehensive teaching approach that combines theoretical instruction with practical experience. Our supportive learning environment encourages students to engage with the material, ask questions, and receive individual attention, fostering an atmosphere conducive to learning and growth.
Our weekly lessons are led by tutors and taught in person at our Edinburgh centre, designed for students studying SQA National 5 and Highers. Each class lasts 40 minutes, offering a more in-depth and effective learning experience than traditional school lessons. These lessons help students fill in any gaps in their knowledge, especially if they have missed school.
We have scheduled special 4-hour prelim sessions on Saturdays, running for four consecutive weeks, to help students improve their prelim scores and predicted grades. These sessions will provide thorough revision and teach SQA exam techniques. By the end of the sessions, students will feel confident and well-prepared for their National 5 and Highers assessments.
The revision classes will cover your preferred course, such as National 5 or Highers in either Admin & IT or Computing Science. We use SQA past papers as well as our own exam papers. Working through past papers allows you to identify the topics you are confident in and highlight any gaps in your knowledge. By testing yourself, you can track your revision progress and build confidence in what you already know.
