Training by other organisations
As well as our own training courses we also deliver training for other organisations, so we are always happy to point people in the right direction...
The Working Together Project
A longstanding community organisation that runs a regular seasonal programme, and many of their courses are free of charge. Their training includs some IT based courses, project planning, applying for funding, setting up a community network et cetera et cetera...
You can telephone them on 01273 810248 or have a look at their website www.workingtogetherproject.org.uk
Community-based IT training organisations
Several local community sector organisations now offer training in basic IT skills such as the European Computer Driving Licence. Gaining this sort of qualification is a helpful way to develop more confidence in your IT skills and offers greater breadth and depth than our short courses.
More details at the Learning partnership website.
