Our Year 9 Innovation students are proving their digital literacy is truly at a global standard. All students are currently working towards gaining IC3 Digital Literacy Certification - a qualification usually gained by professionals in the ICT industry. These Year 9 Innovation students sat the IC3 Spark exam last term and now are working towards their Computer Fundamentals exam next week. Avondale College believes IC3 includes concepts and skills that apply to almost any career pathway. It's the ideal solution for any adult student or job seeker looking to validate their digital skills. Simply put, the IC3 Digital Literacy programme is the best way to ensure that University students and employees are prepared to succeed in a technologybased world. That these Year 9 students are achieving it is a testimony to their desire to succeed and hard work of the teaching staff.
