Nisus Introduces PC Passport

PC Passport is the Scottish Qualification Authority’s brand new IT Qualification. It’s a group award that can be delivered at three levels: beginners, intermediate and higher.

Each level includes Word Processing, Spreadsheet and Internet studies. Presentation is added for the intermediate level, and Presentation and Database added into the higher level.

From August 2004 Nisus will be offering the beginner and intermediate levels, with the higher level to follow later in the year. No exams are undertaken as part of this qualification, instead assessment is conducted by means of outcomes achieved at the candidate’s own pace.

For more details about PC Passport see www.sqa.org.uk or contact Nisus Scotland staff on 0131 554 5656.
