Training news: licensed to compute

by Personnel Today 5 Dec 2000
by Personnel Today 5 Dec 2000

A regional
development agency for Yorkshire and Humber is introducing the European
Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) with the target of having 3 million people in
the area with accredited IT skills by September 2010. Yorkshire Forward decided
to use ECDL – an internationally recognised PC skills qualification promoted by
the British Computer Society – after it found that 28 per cent of the workforce
and 32 per cent of unemployed people in the region had never used a computer.

Plan for best courses

A new
report from market analyst Key Note has revealed that poorly planned e-learning
programmes lead to confused training and learning targets, demoralised training
staff and inadequately supported learners. The findings of the report, which
indicated that 15 per cent of in-company training is expected to be in the form
of e-learning by 2002, show that problems are likely to occur at the
implementation stage. The report can be obtained on 020-8481 8750.

 

Legal training service

A legal
skills and training service to help companies maximise best practice has been
launched by law firm Shoosmiths. The service, which is designed to provide
training at a range of levels from director/manager to team leader/officer,
will cover areas such as legislative changes, handling complaints, data
protection and health and safety. Courses will be prepared in conjunction with
in-house HR and training to match specific needs and abilities. Call 01604
543000.
