In Year 12, students study the BTEC National Level 3 Certificate (equivalent of 0.5 of an A-Level) which is made up of two units: • Unit 2 – Creating Systems to Manage Information. Learners study the design, creation, testing and evaluation of a relational database system to manage information. This unit is externally assessed by a task set and marked by Pearson. • Unit 3 – Using Social Media in Business. Learners explore how businesses use social media to promote their products and services. Learners also implement social media activities in a business to meet requirements. This unit assessed through a portfolio, set and marked in school. In Year 13, the Certificate is topped up to the BTEC National Extended Certificate (equivalent of one A-Level) by completing two further units: • Unit 1 – Information Technology Systems. Learners study the role of computer systems and the implications of their use in personal and professional situations. This unit is assessed by a 2 hour written examination. • Unit 6 – Website Development. Learners investigate website development principles and they design and develop a website using scripting languages. This unit assessed through a portfolio, set and marked in school. This qualification is designed for learners who are interested in an introduction into the study of creating IT systems to manage and share information alongside other fields of study, with a view to progressing to a wide range of higher education courses, not necessarily in IT.
