i want to do an ECDL course, i have been looking around this morning as the cost of doing them at the college where i work is ridiculous tbh. i stumbled across a website called alison.com which offers free IT courses online.

i just wanted to know if anybody had used them before or had an knowledge of them as it sounds really good, but i know you got to be careful these days when signing up for computer training as there are alot of scammers around Mad

i was looking at doing this course

http://alison.com/courses/ICDL-ECDL+2003

is there really free ICT courses out there?

tell me about funding cuts. you would think the council would want to improve its workers skills to enable them to do the job more effectively? but i was told today if i want to do an ECDL course in the actual college i work in my staff discount would be around 30% lol. funding cuts my arse Laughing

spoke to my manager this afternoon and she is gonna look into funding. our council isnt usually that generous when it comes to staff training though cazz. i will get my ECDL one way or another

i havent seen any cazz. but i know i can do the training for free online, its just the exams i would need to pay for, if i did it all off my own back.

will see what my manager comes back with next week, she might surprise me Laughing

probably not mate but i dont have any actual ICT qualifications, despite using microsoft products for the last 13 years of my life, i never actually bothered to take any certified courses, but now i want something that is a recognized industry standard so i can have it on my CV for future jobs.

i suspect alot of the content in the ECDL course would be really easy for me, but i want something to show that i have those skills, you know?

I can always do that after, i will look into it, i think maybe the time has come for me to update my qualifications, so there is alot to think about really.

thanks chet
