Information, Communication Technology

IT plays a central role in our daily lives and continues to influence how we communicate and solve problems. This course is made up of five units, including two externally assessed exams and three non-exam assessment (NEA) units that are moderated externally. The two mandatory exam units—Fundamentals of Data Analytics and Big Data and Machine Learning—are each assessed through a written exam.

The three NEA units, Spreadsheet Data Modelling, Data and the Internet of Everything, and Data and Digital Marketing, are based on realistic scenarios, requiring students to carry out tasks that reflect real-life workplace situations and demonstrate practical, industry-relevant skills.

No additional requirements to the main entry to Sixth Form information.
