There is also the option of a fast track course for any employers who can not spare their employee for 12 weeks. This course can be completed in just 4 weeks. In partnership with Salford City Council and Little Hulton Community School, we opened a new Community Telematics Computer Training Suite on June 13th. The suite is based at the Community School at Little Hulton and will give local residents, job seekers, employers and those looking for training easy access to computer training. We are also the first college in the country to offer an on-line NVQ in Care.
Students can learn at their own pace and in their own time.
The NVQ is the newly recommended qualification for management in care. Some students are entitled to free course fees through ESF funding if their employees have less than 250 staff. In partnership with Tameside College, Salford College has purchased a 'Computer Bus'. This is a mobile computer classroom which takes training directly to the work place or the community. Many training courses and packages are available including internet and e-mail training, PowerPoint, Windows 95 and web design.
