Information and Communication
Technology Centre (ICT)

Our innovative computer centre offers many
aspects of computer studies.  

Underpinning knowledge for the NVQ
qualifications is delivered via our own devised
animated PowerPoint slide show presentations,
where students on the work based training
scheme work one-to-one with a work coach to
gain underpinning knowledge for their
vocational area of study.

Other computer studies courses available
include CLAIT, CLAIT Plus and Internet
Technologies.

As with all the training carried out at Nottingham
Mencap, all volunteers will be fully supported on
a one to one basis until competent in a
particular area.  

The project will use its previously developed
multimedia based learning materials to teach
learning disabled students:
Education
& Training
Leisure
& Respite
Social Inclusion,
Health  &
Wellbeing
Other
Interests
Information, Advice & Guidance
(IAG)

Advisors are available to discuss
your educational and training
requirements.
They will signpost you to the
appropriate training provider to meet
your needs.
