New CLAiT

Courses leading to a New CLAiT qualification will equip learners with the basic range of transferable skills necessary to meet the demands of the modern workplace.

In order to achieve a certificate qualification, candidates are required to achieve three units, the core unit plus two additional optional units. The core unit has been designed to accredit a candidate's initial skills in operating the hardware and software components of a typical computer workstation. The optional units allow candidates to develop skills in a range of different IT applications.

The core unit is file management and e document production – optional units include:

• Creating Spreadsheets and graphs
• Database manipulation
• Create an E presentation (Powerpoint)
• Online communication

Candidates can also achieve a diploma qualification; they are required to achieve five units, the core unit plus four additional optional units. Certification is also available for single units. Each unit is regarded as a worthwhile achievement in its own right. Candidates have the option of achieving as many or as few units as are appropriate for their own learning needs or employment situation.

You will be assessed by a means of OCR-set practical assignments. The assignments are set in realistic scenarios.
