Is it still an option? I think the government scrapped it, but I'm not sure.

No, a level ICT is an option for me. It's a new spec so I don't think it's going anywhere soon

Unless you are doing the CIE syllabus, you're being lied to.

I messed up, and presumed you were English/Scottish and had to do CompSci
The WJEC version is continuing in Wales only until 2020. There is a reason that it has been discontinued otherwise, and it would be a good idea to reflect on this when considering whether to take it. Further, it's generally considered a "non-academic" A-level and hence usually discouraged by universities as an option. If you're interested in computing, Maths is much more important (and useful). Computer Science itself would be a better option, and even that has some mixed opinions among admissions tutors.

I'm planning on going on to do a degree apprenticeship in accounting. Hopefully at JLR
