The Computing Studies course
Pupils are able to study this subject at all levels
(Foundation, General and Credit) in the Vale of Leven
Academy
The course cover 3 main areas Computer Applications
Computer Systems
Computer Programming
Pupils will also take part in practical activities using a
computer

Computer Programming
Pupils will learn to write computer programs using Visual Basic This part of the course is mainly practical as
pupils will spend most of the time writing and testing their own programs
Pupils find this part of the course highly motivating because of the sense of achievement from producing a working ‘windows’ program
