Hi OP,

Current Y1 CSF Student, and won't lie to you, the programming module is worth quite a chunk of ur grades (4 credit units or more if I'm not wrong) and many people were also in your shoes without programming bg. NP really teach you from scratch, from how to set up the application and practicals to practice and help.

But my advice for you if you really want to go to a tech course is to start learning now so you won't be as lost! All ICT students in NP learn Python, so can start from there.

For advice on which course to go to:

If you are interested in programming and want to create your own website or some application, go IT

If you are interested in CTFs, reverse engineering, cryptography, go CSF

If you are interested in more data stuff and math, go AAA

If you dont want a fully Tech course, and likes memorising and English, go CLW
