ICT – A Level

Taught at: Heolddu, Idris Davies School, Lewis Girls’ School
Qualification: WJEC GCE AS/A Level in ICT

Course Overview

ICT has an impact on virtually every aspect of our daily lives. Being able to use ICT tools effectively is essential for life in a world where ICT is constantly changing. Individuals will increasingly need technological and information literacy skills that include the ability to gather, process and manipulate data. These skills are now as essential as the traditional skills of numeracy and literacy. The impact of ICT on society is enormous and as the percentage of businesses and households connected to communication networks such as the Internet grows, so does the need for individuals who can master and manipulate these new technologies. ICT integrates well with all other subjects across the curriculum.
