Full timetable →What happens if I miss a class?
Every lesson is recorded and added to the student portal (live.itguru.lk), so you can watch it at home and keep up with the next unit test.
Is there practical work, like programming or electronics?
Yes. Alongside the theory, students get hands-on work with Arduino microcontrollers, IoT sensors and circuits, which supports the electronics and programming parts of the syllabus.
How does the online class work?
The class is live on Zoom, so you can ask questions in the chat while Teran teaches. Afterwards the recording, notes and timed MCQ papers are on the student portal, where you can also see your scores over time.

See all rankers →Choosing A/L ICT
Can I take ICT in my A/L stream?
ICT can be taken in every A/L stream, including Bio, Maths, Commerce, Arts and Technology. Schools offer different combinations, so check with yours. Private candidates can choose other combinations too.
Subject combinations →Why study A/L ICT in English rather than Sinhala or Tamil?
Every IT, Computer Science and Software Engineering degree in Sri Lanka, at state and private universities, is taught in English, and so is all programming. Learning ICT in English at A/L means you learn each idea once instead of learning it again at university.
Why English medium? →I did my O/Ls in Sinhala medium. Will I manage?
Yes. Many of our A-grade students and rankers did their O/Ls in Sinhala medium. Lessons, notes and exams are in English, but hard ideas are also explained in Sinhala, and you get a glossary that matches each Sinhala term to its English word.
