Computer training for small and medium organisations

Even if you have the best business idea in the world, you still need to understand how to harness computers and the Internet to make it happen.

Is IC³ right for me and my business?

If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, IC3 is right for you.

Have you taught yourself to use a computer, perhaps around your work or with a little help from friends and family?

Are you starting a new business and need to know how to create cash flow forecasts, sales budgets, letters and emails?

Do you have a business and now need to employ staff but don’t know how to gauge their computer skills?

Are you already employing staff but would like to check and improve their skills and productivity?

Have you invested in computers and broadband for your business and would like to see a solid return on your investment?

Do you want to increase your own productivity so you can work smarter, not harder?


How does the IC³ programme work?

The IC³ programme consists of three online courses, practice tests and certification exams. 

You and your team can learn everything needed to gain IC3 certification by completing our online, self-paced courses, which involve around 40 hours of learning. 

The courses are completed at the learner’s pace, at any time that suits your organisation, on any computer with an Internet connection. Each course includes videos and practical exercises to help consolidate what is learned, as well as plenty of opportunities to check knowledge and progress.

Even though the courses are completed online, everyone on your team will also have their own instructor, who will provide as much help and encouragement as needed by phone and/or email throughout the programme. Optional lab sessions may be scheduled (at a minimal cost) for those who would like extra help.

As each of your team is ready, they can complete the IC³ practice tests and certification exams at a Positive Connexions Learning Centre, or possibly onsite at your premises if suitable.

What's so good about IC³?

Our IC³ certification package for businesses provides:

an affordable way to fill in the gaps in computer skills that slow people down, while taking into account what they already know; 

proven, flexible online learning that allows you and your people to study anywhere, at any time – no need to leave work to study in a classroom;

access to reports to track learning results;

support to help you and your team achieve IC³ certification;

a tangible way to reduce computer support costs;

a tax deductible expense that acts as a great incentive to attract quality employees to your business and retain your existing people;

a way for you to reduce the inherent risks involved in recruiting, hiring and promotion decisions;

a qualification recognised in 143 countries;

a clear benchmark for computer skills in your business.  Digital online verification of qualifications achieved is available.

What about existing computer skills?

Some of your team may already have the skills and knowledge needed for certification. We can provide a detailed breakdown of exactly what is covered in the course to help make the initial assessment. Practice tests may be completed to check knowledge, or some may be ready to sit the certification exams right away. We’ll help tailor the right solution for your organisation.
