IT GCSE was the biggest load of crock i've ever been forced to sit through. We did the entire course a year early, in one year and all but two people in the class got distinctions. There was nothing on it anybody wouldn't have been able to do prior to starting the course, apart from perhaps one module on animation, but the rest were on using spreadsheets, proving that you can send emails and use the internet. I felt like i was in one of those patronising 'computing for old people' evening classes.
