Homepage >> News: ALISON Educating Together Programme - Become a Programme Partner

ALISON Educating Together (AET) is an IT skills programme designed to allow libraries, colleges, schools, or any organization which has a network of computers available to it to earn income while helping to promote basic IT skills training. The programme makes IT training accessible to all learners in local communities, regardless of their personal income or existing skill levels.

The AET programme makes available to third-party training organizations a suite of high-quality interactive IT skills courseware and a complementary online learner management system, all completely free. The participating organizations benefit by being able to generate income from the programme which will help them to sustain their own programmes promoting IT literacy in their locality. AET organizations are allowed to charge a nominal fee for the learning service, which they are entitled to keep in full.

AET programme partners will also share equally in income resulting from the provision of official co-branded parchment certificates, or ALISON graduate merchandise such as T-shirts or Hoodies. All learners achieving an assessment average of 80% or more in their ALISON course are entitled to online certification, however official printed parchment certificates are available priced at €20 each.

ALISON charges a nominal €100 administration fee for each successful programme location. The IT skills certification provided is the complete learning content of ALISON ABC IT which covers basic computing concepts, desktop applications and practical IT skills such as touch typing.

Through the AET programme, ALISON offers a highly cost-efficient way to raise basic IT skills and awareness among all demographics. Also through AET, ALISON offers the opportunity for learning centres to co-brand certificates and merchandise through their engagement in the programme, popularizing local learning and breaking down the ‘digital divide’.
