This award is assessed through the documents produced throughout the units of work. There is no final examination. Reported Grades will be Pass, Merit and Distinction which relate to GCSE grades of C, B and A.
This is very much a work related course which is based on the practical application of ICT and it will provide valuable opportunities for pupils to develop skills and gain underpinning knowledge and understanding which will support entry into work or further studies through Further Education or Higher Education |
