Computer Applications Technology

Computer Applications Technology (CAT) is a subject that equips learners with practical and theoretical knowledge of information and communication technologies (ICT). The course focuses on Systems Technologies

Systems Technologies refers to the study and understanding of the basic components that make up a computer system, including both hardware and software, and how these components interact to perform computing tasks.

This topic provides learners with foundational knowledge about:

  • Types of computers and their uses.

  • Input, processing, output, and storage devices.

  • Internal components such as the CPU, RAM, motherboard, and storage drives.

  • Peripheral devices like keyboards, mice, printers, and scanners.

  • Software types, including system software (operating systems) and application software.

  • The purpose and functioning of operating systems, including file management and user interfaces.

The topic also encourages learners to understand:

  • The relationship between hardware and software.

  • How to identify and evaluate different computer components based on user needs (e.g., home, school, business).
