Here’s what Stephen Blandamer said about a similar digital training course:
\n‘Just a quick note to let you know that I\u2019ve started volunteering at Citizens Advice in a IT support assistant role. The role could possibly lead to paid employment. If it wasn\u2019t for the ECDL qualification I would never have had the inclination let alone confidence to even apply for the role.’<\/p>\n
Anyone who is interested will be asked to attend an admission session so that they can complete a skills assessment to ensure they are on the right course.<\/p>\n
Anyone who completes the training will get a fully accredited qualification.<\/p>\n
