Nearly a third of the UK's population are being left behind in our increasingly information driven society, thwarted by a genuine fear of attempting to use a computer. That is why the British Computer Society (BCS) has introduced a new skills programme designed specifically for such technophobes and which promises to speedily enable a major part of society with the rudiments of IT communication skills.
In response to growing demand for IT professionals wishing to progress within the field of project management, the BCS Information Systems Examination Board (ISEB) has launched the first IT related Foundation Certificate in Project Management.
The latest version of the European Computer Driving Licence® (ECDL) IT qualification, launched last year, has seen its first successful candidate pass all modules. Lorraine Dowd from Halton College in Cheshire is the first person in the UK to achieve her ECDL qualification using accredited Version 4 syllabus material.
BCS, The Chartered Institute for IT champions the global IT profession and the interests of individuals engaged in that profession for the benefit of all.
