Sixth Form Enrichment: ICT Key Skills Level 2 & 3
The aim of the course is to develop students’ ICT skills. Students will be assessed on this course by a multiple-choice test at level 2 and an on-line exam using software applications at level 3. To successfully gain the desired ICT Key Skill level, students must also produce two short pieces of coursework, which is produced using ICT software and Internet and email providers. The ICT skill is worth university points, at level 3: 20 points are awarded and 10 points are awarded at level 2.
Course Structure
The course tutor will identify which level of ICT the student can gain through a range of class-based activities and assessments. The purpose of the timetabled Key Skill lessons (2 per week) is to teach the generic skills required that can help students improve their own learning and performance in the subject, which will hep them in education, training work and life in general. It is expected that at the end of the academic year each student will successfully gain the qualification at either level 2 or 3.
Assessment Details
The coursework evidence needs to be completed by June. The external examination for level 2 is one hour in length and the level 3 is one and a half hours. Each level can be sat in March and/or June.
