What do other students think about IPP?
IPP is amazing because we learn so many skills that we can use in our further studies and life. I didn’t realise how many features MS Word has. This course shows you more advanced features of Word, Publisher and Excel.

IPP is very important for every student as it teaches you skills for your life in computing. It has allowed me to also help other students in their computing work when they didn’t know how to do something in a Word document. IPP has given me confidence in using Microsoft programs such as Word, Publisher and Excel.
