This qualification is designed for learners who are interested in an introduction to the study of creating IT systems to manage and share information, alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in IT. You will develop the following generic skills, which can be broken down into three main categories: cognitive and problem-solving skills: use critical thinking, approach non-routine problems applying expert and creative solutions, use systems and technology intrapersonal skills: communicating, working collaboratively, negotiating and influencing, self-presentation interpersonal skills: self-management, adaptability and resilience, self-monitoring and development.
Grade 4 in Maths and English Language; Grade 4 or above in IT or Computing at GCSE.
Your understanding will be assessed through a combination of external and internal assessments. Units 1 and 2 will be externally set and marked by the examination board. Tasks are practical work-place scenarios which will require learners to demonstrate practical understanding of knowledge gained. Units 3 and 6 are internally assessed, and learners demonstrate how they apply knowledge and skills to complete a practical project over a period of time, working individually or in groups.
