The coursework is a database project of a real situation. You must have a genuine 'user', and there must be a genuine 'problem' to solve. This does not mean that you will necessarily implement the database at the end of the course, the exam board recognises that if a company has a working database then you will not be substituting your database for that. Students are unlikely to gain very good marks if they do not have easy access to their user. We recommend a close family member, someone in school, or someone at work that you have regular access to. You must submit your coursework regularly to ensure that you are keeping up to date, and that you are following guidelines for what is required.
