ECDL

[apoth0r]

Having been asked by my employer to provide a ECDL course for teachers and students I am wondering the best possible way of doing this.

Is there a specific instructors course to go on or do I just simply need to go on the standard course and achieve the certification in order to teach the syllabus?

 

The ECDL website isn't very clear on this aspect.

 

Another question is, if we want to run it for staff and students, would it be better in the long run to become a "centre" of sorts, has anyone else implemented this in the school and has it been beneficial?

 

Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Kind regards

Hi

We ran an ECDL for the staff here.

The way we did it was to have the site authorised (i.e. facilities, PC spec etc) then got the local ITech to come in and teach it for us.

The will only do this for more than certain number of pupils.

I you want more info please PM me and I will supply the number of our local unit and a contact name.

could you do the ingots instead:

HOME | International Grades - Open Technologies

 

It's cheaper, all the information is free online and its a QCA recognised (gold is equivalent to GCSE) Assessor training is £129

Thanks for the point in the right direction Cybernerd, had the guy in this morning to have a chat and I shall be putting together something for the top dogs to seriously consider.

 

Again, many thanks
