First home educated learner to achieve national ICT qualification with Londonlearning - November 2010

(sourced from http://www.london-learning.com/section/about/news.htm)

Parents of young people between the ages of 11 and 18 being educated at home in the United Kingdom will join Londonlearning in congratulating Sam Connolly from Aylesbury in Bucks in achieving the Institute of Administrative Management’s Award in ICT.
Sam is the first young person in the UK to achieve the qualification who is not attending a school or college full time. The IAM Award in ICT is broadly similar to a GCSE Grade A* -C pass, so Sam can add this vocationally related qualification to his other qualifications already achieved, that include IGCSE History A*, Maths A, English A, and Physics A.
Sam, a keen swimmer, musician and wood carver studied the Londonlearning course at home for over a year. He developed his IT competency using the interactive course online tutorials and online assessment exercises and applied his IT skills to submit an online portfolio of assignments where he demonstrated how he could apply his skills.
"Sam submitted an excellent iportfolio of assignments demonstrating his application of ICT” said Londonlearning’s Connie Elsner, “he can show any future employer or University his actual competence. We congratulate Sam and his family and are certain that Sam will excel in his future studies. We wish him every success".
Note: The IAM Award in ICT qualification has been superseded in the national Qualifications and Credit Framework by the new IAM Level 2 Certificate in IT User Skills (ITQ) (QCF).
