Recommended software applications
Pamoja Education recommends a PC / Windows / Microsoft Office set up, for example:- For images and document editing: MS Word
- For spreadsheet editing: MS Excel
- For presentation creation: MS PowerPoint
- For database manipulation: MS Access
- For website authoring: A simple text editor such as Notepad
It is possible to use Mac-alternatives, Pages/Numbers/Keynote/TextEdit, for the majority of the course. However, for the database activities you will need to use Microsoft Access. This will require that you run Access and Windows in a Parallels or Boot Camp environment. You will also need access to this set up for the final exams.

In order to succeed in IGCSE Information and Communication Technology, we recommend students set aside five to six hours a week to study. It is important that students regularly keep up with the readings and the course activities in a timely manner. And that they contact their Pamoja teacher if they fall behind or need help with assignments.*Please note, that all courses offered are subject to receiving a minimum enrolment number.
