This qualification is not just about being able to use computers. The course has been designed to provide the in-demand skills involved in system development. At St Peter’s School, we deliver the Application Developer pathway, which is designed to equip students for careers in Web Application development and software development.

Unit 1: Fundamentals of IT (January of Y12) Unit 2: Global Information (June of Y12) Year 13: You will complete three coursework units. These are internally assessed and externally moderated. Unit 6 – Application Design (mandatory unit). Unit 8 – Project management. Unit 21 – Web design and prototyping.
