The story
Originally part of the National Computing Centre, NCC Education was initially established as an IT initiative by the British Government in 1966. NCC Education started offering IT qualifications in 1976 and from 1997 developed its Higher Education portfolio to include Business programs and a range of foundation programs. Since early 2002, NCC Education has offered Information Communication Technology (ICT) programs for schools.
