Welcome to OCR Nationals

What is it and what will I be studying?

In year 10 you will be studying Unit 1 ICT Skills for Business. This unit will include you demonstrating the following skills;

  • organisation and file management,
  • downloading from the internet,
  • producing business like documents,
  • sending and receiving emails,
  • using spreadsheets

  • and database management.

The unit is seperated into different sections, for each section you will need to ensure that you are providing evidence of your work and building this into a portfolio. 

 You will be assessed as Pass, Merit or Distinction. A pass is equivalent to GCSE grade C, Merit = B and Distinction = A. You will be assessed for each section, which will then be used to calculate your overall grade. 

 

The whole unit is focused around an internet based music company called Downloadable Tunes. Please see the scenerio.
