Introduction

The Cambridge ICT Starters (CIS) syllabus is designed by the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE), United Kingdom to introduce students to the key ICT applications they need to use to acquire ICT literacy and to understand the impact of technology on our daily lives.
