WJEC Computing.
To teach us the basics in programming, we start with Visual Basic; at A2 we move onto whatever language we want as long as you can make the project(C, C#, C++, Java etc...)
Exams are knowledge based and throw in the occasional "essay" question. (which you can simply bullet point ideas and throw in a tiny bit of analysis and get all the marks)
You can also be incredibly vague and still get the marks.
[QUOTE=AK'z;33478708]correct, the GCSE IT course is absolutely pathetic. It only teaches you basic bullshit that people learned at the age of 6...[/QUOTE]
I got a D in IT at GCSE level. Why? Because all we learned was how to create leaflets in Publisher, I had literally no interest in the lessons because it wasn't what I wanted to know so didn't bother handing any coursework in. My IT teacher said I was hopeless. Now I work supporting IT systems for Fujitsu, John Lewis and other large companies. If I didn't already have an interest frm my own hobbies with IT then I'd have chosen another career because there's no way the syllabus at school would have made me think about a career in IT.
