At Hyde Technology School all students start working towards a Level 3 qualification at the start of Year 9 – completing at least one full unit from the 7 required by the end of the year. The remaining units are covered and completed during Years 10 and 11. Wherever possible, students are encouraged to complete sufficient units to achieve the equivalent of 2, 3 or 4 GCSEs at high grades (A* to C)
The OCR Level 2 Nationals in ICT have been developed to recognise learners' skills, knowledge and understanding of Information and Communication Technology functions, environments and operations
The learners carry out a range of tasks that have been designed to recognise their achievements in a modern, practical way that is relevant to the workplace
They do not certificate competence on the job but are work-related qualifications which will support progression to an NVQ once a candidate is in the workplace. They are also ideal for those wishing to go on to Level 3 courses such as A level ICT; OCR Nationals in ICT (Level 3) or other vocational qualifications
