ALISON ABC IT: What is it?
ALISON Basic Computing IT helps a student to learn practical skills and competencies and consists of three separate modules covering computer theory, practice, and skills attainment, all available for free learning. ALISON ABC IT is self-certified, meaning that a certificate of completion is available to students once they have achieved a success rate of 80% or more in the free tests, and have completed the basic introductory lessons provided for touch-typing.
Who is ALISON ABC IT for?
ALISON ABC IT is for anyone who needs to learn basic computing skills or has a need to demonstrate to an international standard that they are fully competent in the use of a personal computer and common computer applications. Prospective learners should ideally have used computers and the more common software applications before, although it is possible for complete beginners to take this free IT course also.
