Out of interest, what is AVCE ICT like? Is it enjoyable as the GNVQ?

I did the AVCE ICT double award, I didn't the GNVQ so I don't know, I guess it just depends on the college. It was apparantly quite a bit more advanced than the imtermediate though. The worst thing about is the heavy work load due to he over assesement.

There are one or two duff modules as well.

I did the IGNVQ in school and i am now doing the AVCE ICT. I find the GNVQ alot easier than the AVCE, but then again they are totally different cos the AVCE is worth 3 A levels and the GNVQ is worth 4 GCSES.

I find unit 2,3 and 5 the hardest. :eek:

I'm finishing up AVCE ICT double award and i'm not finding it that hard. It can be hard, but it's not solid.

At the moment i'm doing AS AVCE ICT. I gotta say in many respect the subject is easy its just being able to cope with the workload. I didn't do ICT at GNVQ in year 10/11 and i'm finding it fairly straight forward now. Basically predicted an A/B this year.

For AVCE Business, Bized is good. http://www.bized.ac.uk

I find AVCE Business far tougher than my AS Level Psychology course. The assignments are worded and set in such a way that they are quite complicated. It has been noted that AVCE is like 2 years of A2.

It is a big step from GNVQ Business, which I also did.

Although I do enjoy AVCE very much, and I can see how the applications in the real-world are greater than a AS Level.

Hope this helps.
