  • "I started my journey with Inverness College UHI at Level 5 and worked my way through to achieve a BSc Computing with a distinction in networking. I gained invaluable experience through the various subjects taught and was able to make choices at the higher levels about what I was most interested in learning. This provided me with essential knowledge about the networking industry. The college provided me with exactly what I needed to get a job as an installation engineer, which I thoroughly enjoy. Hard work and dedication along with help and support from all the staff at Inverness College UHI can help you achieve your dreams," - Craig Justice, HighNet Telecoms installation engineer.
  • "Inverness College UHI computing courses provide a fantastic grounding in information technology. My experience and knowledge of the programmes highlight the benefits they provide to our apprentices in terms of knowledge and work experience, but often, more importantly, the confidence they gain. The courses are hugely beneficial and have a recognised profile that is attractive to an employer such as Capgemini," - Darren Robbins, Capgemini deputy security operations centre manager.

What our students, graduates and staff say

What our students say:

"I have enjoyed learning new things from the networking fundamentals classes because my knowledge of networking in general was limited. I learned how to make my own network cables which will help me at home as I am looking to make my home a smart home, I have also learned a great deal on how networks actually operate and I think is vital knowledge for working in the programming field as I may need to create code that utilizes networks."

"The course gives you a good basic foundation in to what you will learn in the next few years as you progress with higher and possible a degree in computing. It has a wide spectrum of modules to give you a taste of what is to come."

"Our lecturers are very helpful. The building is very well equipped – there is a lot of space for after class learning. There is also the Skillzone, where students can use computers, work in silence and get help in different areas of learning."
