Passing the ICT Skills Test

All trainee teachers hoping to gain Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) need to pass a computerised ICT skills test. The test is designed to ensure all those qualifying as teachers have a sound grasp of fundamental ICT skills such as databases, word processing and the Internet and can apply these in their work both in and out of the classroom.



This text outlines the test requirements and explains the basic subject knowledge essential to completing the test. The fourth edition is fully updated to comply with the latest TDA standards and includes new self-assessment questions.
