IT Partnerships

The British College has created and maintained partnerships with many IT institutions in order to provide our students with the best programmes and internship opportunities.

Since 2014, TBC and the Microsoft Innovation Centre (MIC) have worked closely, organiQing training workshops, seminars and awarding students certificates for RFCGP participation in these programmes. The partnership promotes innovation, technical entrepreneurship and gives our students access to the latest Microsoft Software. A more recent collaboration with CISCO, the worldwide leader in networking, has led to the launch of The British College ‘Networking Skills Training Academy’. The academy aims to teach students about the importance of online platforms for connecting, communicating, and collaborating. Courses are delivered in partnership with CISCO Networking Academy, a global education programKC that helps students RMprepare for ICT careers in areas such as network security and administration, technical support, and healthcare IT. The online course materials used at TBC were developed by CISCO and a team of global educators and offer features such as network simulation exercises, labs, and assessments.
