ALISON ABC IT-3
ALISON ABC IT-3, our free online IT skills training course, covers three of the most practical elements of computing which are:
Touch Typing
For the purposes of the free ALISON ABC IT certification, we simply ask learners to complete the basic touch typing course. These free lessons will introduce the learner to basic tips of touch typing and set the learner on the road to faster and more efficient desktop skills. At ALISON, we believe that touch typing is the single most under-appreciated skill in computing. A learner, perhaps beginning years of academic study can literally waste months of their lives by being poor or slow typists.
The computer-guided mode guides the student through a series of activities, in the order shown below:

How to use Gmail
How to use Gmail introduces the learner to web-based e-mail (Webmail) and specifically to Google’s Gmail (or Google Mail) service which we believe is one of the simplest and most efficient free mail services on the web. Besides showing a new learner how to sign-up for an account, the course outlines the basic benefits and features of e-mail services generally. Whether using Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail or other quality Webmail services, the learner will come away from this free course having a much better understanding of this very powerful communications tool.
Desktop Ergonomics/DSE/Workstation Ergonomics
Also known as DSE and Workstation Ergonomics, this free course encourages everyone to consider the risks associated with using display screen equipment, how to apply good ergonomic principles and adopt the correct work practices and postures. Learners will be shown what actions can be taken to ensure their workplace is a safe environment for them to work at and how to establish an ergonomic workstation.
