What is happening with GNVQ and VCE?
Foundation and intermediate GNVQs in ICT will be available as 6-unit awards at least until 2004, and the VCE in ICT continues to be available as 12-unit, 6-unit and 3-unit awards. In all cases a successful candidate will gain exemption from all the IT Key Skill assessment requirement at the same level (foundation = level 1, intermediate = level 2, advanced = level 3). Part One GNVQ in ICT will no longer be available for students starting two-year courses form September 2002. (please see GCSE in Applied ICT (Double Award). One-year courses could start in September 2002, but should be completed by summer 2003. There will be a single resit opportunity in January 2004.
