Know IT

Know IT is an exciting new basic computer course built for the Irish workforce.

Know IT encourages participants to take their first steps in learning about computers and concentrates on practical tasks such as writing email, exploring the Internet or simple word processing. Know IT has specifically been developed for people with little or no previous computer experience, therefore it also contains activities on computer basics and tutorials on mouse and keyboard skills.

Know IT is an e-Learning course delivered via CD, with the first part of the course being delivered by a tutor in a classroom either in the workplace or in an NCI learning centre. 

For more information on the Know IT course please visit KnowIT.ie  

The first phase of the Know IT programme has ended, there is now a fee per student for the course, the amount is dependent on the number of students participating and the location of the tutor led sessions.  For more information, please contact Abi Reynolds the Know IT Project Manager - areynolds@ncirl.ie 01 449 8664.

 

 Know IT and KESP are both delivered under the strategic alliance between FÁS and NCI.  They are part of the FÁS Training for People in Employment Programme, which aims to increase the knowledge, skills and competencies of the Irish Workforce.
