Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

IGCSE ICT

How does IGCSE ICT differ from IGCSE Computer Science?

IGCSE ICT focuses on the effective use of information and communication technology tools (office software, web, email, etc.) in various contexts and understanding their impact on society. In contrast, IGCSE Computer Science focuses on the principles of how computers work, computational theory, algorithms, and programming skills to create technological solutions.

Does IGCSE ICT focus more on theory or practical skills?

IGCSE ICT has a balance between both. Students need to master theoretical concepts about hardware, software, networks, safety, security, and the social impact of ICT. However, a very significant part of the curriculum and exams focuses on assessing practical skills, proficiently using application software to perform specific tasks.

What types of software will students learn and practice in the program?

The curriculum typically requires students to become proficient in applications within common office software suites (such as Microsoft Office: Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, or equivalent applications), basic web authoring tools, image editing software, and communication applications like email.

What is the usual examination format for IGCSE ICT?

The IGCSE ICT examination usually includes both a theory paper (which may be multiple-choice or short answer questions) to test knowledge of concepts, and practical papers conducted directly on a computer to assess skills in using software to solve problems and tasks set in the exam paper.

What benefits does studying IGCSE ICT bring to students for their future?

This subject equips students with essential digital literacy skills for almost every field of study and work in the 21st century. It helps students become confident and effective when using technology, understanding the role and impact of ICT in life, work, and society. This is a good foundation for fields related to information management, multimedia communication, business, education, administration, and many other areas that require ICT application.

Does Intertu Education offer trial classes for IGCSE ICT?

Yes. Intertu Education offers Trial Classes for IGCSE ICT. This is an excellent opportunity for you and your parents to directly experience our teaching methods, meet the teacher, and assess suitability before deciding to enroll in a full course. Please contact our counseling department for more information.

How is the tuition fee for the IGCSE ICT course at Intertu calculated?

The tuition fee for IGCSE ICT at Intertu Education depends on the study hour package and the level of support service (Standard, Premium, Platinum) that parents choose, to best meet specific learning needs and goals. To receive a detailed fee schedule and advice on the most suitable study package, please contact Intertu's counseling team directly.
