EPQ ICT tutors

2 UK tutors who teach ICT at EPQ.

ICT as a discrete qualification has largely been replaced by Computer Science at GCSE and A-level, but it still appears at KS3, in BTEC and Cambridge Nationals routes, and in adult and Functional Skills contexts. Content is more applied than CS (spreadsheets, databases, project work, digital literacy) and assessment leans on coursework and scenario tasks. Tutoring helps most with the structured project work and with the digital-literacy gap older students sometimes carry. For students mid-stream in legacy ICT specs, check the awarding body (Cambridge Nationals, BTEC, OCR) and the cohort year, as content has shifted repeatedly.

The Extended Project Qualification is a Level 3 standalone qualification taken alongside A-levels (typically in Year 12 or Year 13) and is worth half an A-level (up to 28 UCAS points at A*). Students choose their own topic and produce either a 5,000-word dissertation, or an artefact / performance accompanied by a 1,000-word report, plus a production log and a viva-style presentation. AQA's spec (7993) is the largest by a wide margin (~40,000 entries/year in England); Pearson Edexcel (Dissertation P301, Investigation P302, Performance P303, Artefact P304), OCR (H856) and WJEC / Eduqas also offer it. Tutoring on EPQ is closer to academic-research mentoring than subject teaching: research-question scoping, source evaluation and citation discipline, dissertation structure, statistical analysis where relevant, and viva preparation. Look for tutors with degree-level research experience in the project's topic area; subject-specialist A-level tutors don't always cover the dissertation craft well.
