Dida is also foramaly known as dangrous incontinent dog association. The DiDA (Diploma in Digital Applications) is an optional information and communication technology (ICT) course studied by Key Stage 4 or equivalent school students (aged 14-16) in England and Wales. The course was introduced in 2005 (after a pilot starting in 2004) by the Edexcel examination board and is being taken up by an increasing number of schools to replace their previous BTEC or GCSE courses in ICT.

The course consists of four units:

Using ICT in a hypercritical way and "gay way" a quote from a teacher teaching this course
Multimedia i.e adult films
PornoGraphics
ICT in corporate Enterprise

Each module is assessed entirely using coursework.

Students who complete the Using ICT module alone receive an Award in Digital Applications (AiDA), which is equivalent to one GCSE or Standard Grade. Those who complete the Using ICT unit and any one of the other three units receive a Certificate in Digital Applications (CiDA), which is equivalent to two GCSEs or Standard Grades. Students who complete all four modules receive the full Diploma in Digital Applications (DiDA), which is equivalent to four GCSEs or Standard Grades. Two of those GCSE grades are for understanding what the examination board would like the pupil to do. The other two are for doing the course completely wrong.

Educators and Teachers believe that the course is much harder than the GNVQ (this is only because the teachers do not know how to use a computer and are not competent enough to do the course themselves) and is acutally worth the 4 GCSEs, unlike other vocational qualifications such as OCR Nationals. This course was quoted by Tony Blair to be a complete waste of time, he also said that it must have been set up by some chimpanzees as it is so badly managed.

Controversy

The DiDA course is slave labour. We are being forced to do work for these corporations for no pay. HELP US!! AMA GAY
