New Program Computing ยท Ages 5โ€“16 Now in Singapore

Introducing DIGI โ€” A Globally Recognised Computing Qualification for Young Learners.

Quill Learning is proud to bring NCC Education's DIGI series to Singapore โ€” a four-stage Computing pathway awarded in the United Kingdom, providing students with an internationally available qualification and a global benchmark for their computing skills and knowledge.

  • A formal qualification โ€” not a diagnostic. Students sit an examination and receive a certificate awarded by NCC Education, UK.
  • UK-regulated at Level 2. The Digi Award sits on the UK RQF at the same level as IGCSE qualifications.
  • Aligned to the UK Computing curriculum. Computational thinking, online safety, digital literacy and coding from Scratch to Java.

Three things that make DIGI a qualification.

Designed for ages 5โ€“16. Built so students take it seriously, parents trust it, and teachers can teach to it.

01
For students

A real exam โ€” not a quiz

Children sit an externally-set, English-language paper at the end of each stage. They prepare, they sit it, they earn it.

For parents

A UK certificate, in their name

Pass the exam and your child receives a formal certificate of qualification from NCC Education in the United Kingdom โ€” to keep, to show, to build on.

For educators

A benchmark that travels

Mapped to the UK Computing curriculum and applied by NCC's centres worldwide โ€” a consistent yardstick wherever a learner goes next.

๐ŸŒ Recognised globally
The DIGI Pathway

Four stages, one continuous Computing curriculum.

Each stage builds on the last, fully aligned to the English National Curriculum for Computing โ€” from a child's first lines of Scratch to a UK-regulated qualification at IGCSE level.
