Certificated computer courses
As well as offering lots of beginner level computer courses, we can also help you to progress on to a nationally recognised qualification like CLAIT (Computer Literacy & Information Technology), ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence), or GMOCN (Greater Manchester Open College Network).
ECDL
The ECDL qualification covers a very practical spread of knowledge, which is extremely useful in either a working or home environment. By attaining this qualification it lets an employer know what a good level of computer skills you have, which would be the same level in any of the 125 countries who now use ECDL.
The syllabus is covered in 7 modules, each of which must be passed before an ECDL certificate is awarded:-
- Basic concepts of IT
- Using the computer and managing files
- Word processing
- Spreadsheets
- Database
- Presentation
- Information and communication (Internet & Email)
CLAIT
Each unit is certificated separately, but for the candidate to achieve the overall Level 1 Certificate, it is necessary to complete five units, including the mandatory Unit 1 ~ using a computer.
Mandatory Unit : Using a Computer
Optional Units - choose any 4 of the following:
- Word Processing
- Electronic Communication
- Spreadsheets : Databases
- Desktop Publishing
- Graphs and Charts
- Presentation
- Graphics
- BBC Becoming WebWise
- Computing Fundamentals
GMOCN
GMOCN is suitable for those learners who have limited experience with computers, and will cover basics like how to use a computer; word processing; internet & email.
