IAM Online Award in ICT

This interactive Level 2 online course allows students and adults to learn at their own pace how to correctly apply skills in Microsoft Office applications in an education or adult context. It helps other subject teachers to deliver ICT without having to teach the IT skills themselves. Students engage with the courseware to develop their abilities and demonstrate their competency across the curriculum. Centres can offer the course to families of students and the wider community online or in a classroom environment.

Description of the Course

IAM Online Award in ICT is designed particularly to meet the needs of senior school pupils age 13-16 in International and Independent Schools and Colleges. The interactive course equips individuals with the knowledge, understanding and practical skills required for future success in advanced secondary education, future employment, or for entry to an IAM Level 3 or A Level GCE in Information Technology or related title.

It offers students a specialised route into further ICT study and reflects university and industry needs for desired ICT skills. Its unique selling point is that it has been designed by IT teachers to involve non-IT teachers in its delivery in the school or college curriculum.

Learners can work at their own pace, engaging with the animated tutor and interacting with the courseware.

Developed and trialled at Dulwich College, the implementation and teaching of ICT across the curriculum is supported by this new online course. It has been designed by IT staff with a good working knowledge and experience of the wider curriculum programmes. This is underpinned by the relationship of the units. They move from knowledge and understanding of IT to the ability to practically apply ICT skills in other curriculum areas.
