You might be interested in the OOo certification project. We should hear at the end of this month whether an EU grant application is successful and we will then develop OOo certification to the standards defined by the UK National occupational Standards for IT Users referenced to the European Qualifications Framework. The certification will be based on assessing competence in the work place rather than by an exam using accredited assessors from the community. -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications A new approach to assessment for learning www.theINGOTs.org - 01827 305940 You have received this email from the following company: The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
