Functional Skills

Functional ICT

 

Engaging, useful and interactive is what ICT Functional Skills is all about. 

To get students excited about technology 'in the classroom', we are providing activities based on life, learning and work experiences with the opportunity to use a variety of software.

AQA web and e-mail simulator

We've developed simulated AQA Web and e-mail software to help candidates make the most of what they have learnt in our ICT Functional Skills specification.

Candidates have access to a purpose-built environment that is safe and secure to use during the examination. They can use the web browser to search for products and information. They can also use the e-mail software to create, send and open messages, and search for contact addresses.

The AQA web and e-mail simulation enables us to test candidates' Internet and e-mail skills in a realistic and purposeful context. With this software we are providing candidates with an interactive examination experience that reflects real life in the 21st century.
