ECDL Success Update
Since the launch of ECDL in August 2006, Baglan IT Centre has welcomed staff from right across the authority to sit online tests using the Enlight testing system. Candidates are given access to mock/diagnostic tests prior to sitting the real tests. These have proven to be extremely helpful in preparing candidates for the actual tests.

To date 18 candidates have achieved the ECDL qualification with a further 11 achieving BCS Level 1 Certification. At present, tests are organised on a monthly basis and places are being snapped up well in advance.

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council wants to encourage it's staff to improve their ICT skills and so candidates are able to study the ECDL course either using the Advance Learning online classroom or CD-ROM for up to one hour a week during work time as well as at home.

In addition, a new SuperHelp online support system has been launched on the NPTCBC intranet which will bring a much needed simple and user friendly help system to all IT users - not only ECDL candidates.

Also, the Corporate IT Training courses available through Baglan IT Centre can be utilised to update your knowledge and assist in the completion of your ECDL qualification.
