The Student Handbook for ICT: KS3 provides students with an easy-to-understand guide to the main ICT topics through concise, manageable two-page topics. These are extensively illustrated with colour photographs and annotated diagrams. The design has been kept lively and youthful in order to attract students and keep their attention.

Balanced coverage

The handbook gives students in earlier years useful background information as they work towards their KS3 assessment at the end of Year 9. For students going further, this is the ideal companion to Student Handbook for ICT: GCSE.

Ideal for reference

Individual topics are laid out across each double page to give students convenient, manageable units of work. This helps them both stick to the task and plan ahead.

Discounts on class sets

The books are designed for student use and for distribution though schools. Large discounts on class sets mean that they can be sold on to students at a cost well below the cover price.
