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’.
