ILA Scotland — now it’s for everyone!

ILA Scotland is a Scottish Executive scheme that will help you pay for learning you want to do. It’s available for anyone aged 18 or over and living in Scotland.

Even if you earn more than £15,000 a year you can now apply for an ILA Scotland account. With an individual learning account you will be able to claim up to £100 a year to put towards a range of courses to build your computer skills.

And if you earn £15,000 a year or less, you can still apply for an individual learning account that will give you up to £200 a year towards learning something new.

Nisus is currently able to offer you a range of accredited IT training courses to study that are eligible for ILA Scotland funding, including the European Computer Driving Licence® (ECDL) and Microsoft Office Specialist® (MOS).

These qualifications offer proof to employers of your IT skills, and can increase your own knowledge of popular desktop packages to intermediate and advanced levels.

You can find out more about the ECDL at www.ecdl.co.uk and about MOS at www.microsoft.com/learning/mcp/officespecialist/

Nisus Scotland Summer Picnic

Sometimes it is all fun and games at Nisus!

Pictured above: Nisus Picnic 2005

This was proved last month when trainees from current and past courses got the chance to meet and catch up at the annual summer picnic.

Thanks to all volunteers, staff, trainees, their children and grandchildren, for braving the grey skies over Leith Links and making the day so much fun!
