ICT Assessment The Qualifications and Curriculum Development Authority have been busy over recent years. There are a plethora of ICT qualifications, and an equally vast array of assessment methods. We are able to support centres in assessment of all aspects of ICT. From Key Stage 1, right through to A Level. Our trainers and consultants are examiners at GCE and GCSE for the Awarding Bodies. We also have members of the development team, involved in On-screen, On-demand assessment models. We can tailor a course to your needs, and run it at your centre. We can support staff in assessing work against the National Curriculum, for the end of Key Stage Assessment, or help with moderating and assessing coursework for the GCSE, Applied GCSE or post 16 qualifications. We are also able to support Functional Skills across all levels and advise on the relevance and requirements of alternative courses, such as BTECs, NVQs, CLAIT or ECDL.
