Presentation from Support Event for GCE Applied ICT Examination Units

We held a support event for the examination units 2, 7 and 13 on 5th December 2008 at the Rosspark Hotel.  Please visit the support materials tab to download a copy of the presentation made at the event.

GCE Case Studies

The case studies for first teaching in September 2008 for units 3, 4, 7 and 14 are available to download from the support materials section of the microsite.

GCE Applied Specifications

We will be revising our GCE Applied specifications during this academic year. This revision process will involve the following subjects: Applied Business; Applied Health and Social Care; and Applied Information and Communication Technology.

These specifications are being revised to address the issue of ‘stretch and challenge’ and the attainment of A*.

As these specifications are relatively new, the revision in Phase 1 will focus on changes to the question papers only; you will receive these in 2009. We will not, therefore, be carrying out formal consultation with teachers at this time. Phase 2 will review content, and we will keep you up-to-date with progress and development.
