DiDA took over from GNVQ, GNVQ is no longer available at GCSE.
But of what ive been told by teachers, its a walk in teh park for anybody who can listen and knows what a computer is.
judging by the fact your on a forum, you know what a Computer is, and the fact that you asking a question means your willing to listen, getting the pattern yet? ;)
DiDA is what Ive nearly done. I was doing the D:201, and its soo boring.
I do GCSE Applied ICT.
Is a bit of a waste of time. However very easy, full marks in both coursework and year 11 exam. All i need to do to get an A in the subject is in 2 weeks or when ever the exam is is to write my name. Im not saying that to bost, i just think schools should offer better GCSE courses than just the one i did, sure everyone in my class get A*-B no matter their knowlage in the subject but anyone could do it, i would have rather done the DiDA where i would learn stuff, about DTP etc.
DiDA is mainly....
To my Knowlage..
Like... Desk top publishing, and doing stuff in ICT that you will accually use in real life, from what i've herd from friends who do it in other schools i think it is very useful and a good thing to take, I would have if i had the choice.
i'm doing edexcel double applied ict, and its easy tooQuote:

In my ICT class at school we was doing the CiDa course and then the ICT teachers went to a meeting with a new course run by OCR which is 10 times easier. I found CiDa really hard and boring because they expected too much but with this OCR course it is so easy. The C mark activities require you to do stuff such as Enter data into a database and the A mark activity on that task is to create a query and do something with it or something can't remember off the top of my head.
im doing dida, just finished D201: Using ICT. which is boring as hell. we're now doing D204, the Enterprise unit, which is also turning out to be boring. next year we have D202+203, Multimedia and Graphics repectively.
dida is really easy imo, some bits are annoying, some are repetive, but as along as you have basic knowledge of Windows programs and FireWorks and stuff, you should be okay
groups one ****** me off, graphics is a pain in the but for me.Quote:
