It is a specialized assessment programme created by Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), a department of the UCLES. It is designed for students aged between 6 and 16 to measure their skills, knowledge and application in ICT, as defined by Cambridge International Examinations ICT Learning Objectives. Three assessment levels are offered: Initial Steps, Next Steps and On Track. Futurekids, with its reputation as the world’s leading provider of computer-literacy training for students, is the firstapproved examination center in Hong Kong, which launched the ICT assessments in April and May 2002. Sixty candidates of Futurekids had all passed the assessments and were the first group of students in the world who received the award. Up to now, over 3000students have achieved the certificate through Futurekids or in the progress of achieving it.

To provide more advanced courses for our students, Futurekids launched preparatory courses for the Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) – Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in September 2008 and General Certificate of Education (International) Advanced Level (IAL) - Applied Information and Communication Technology in November 2010.
