About the qualification
Studying New CLAiT leads to the accredited OCR Level 1 Certificate / Diploma for IT Users, which helps your pupils to demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of this subject.
In order to successfully achieve a qualification, your pupils will need to complete a series of practice Activities as they work through each Session of the course, which they’ll send to you through the v-mail system on vision2learn. Completion of these practice Activities will help you to assess the pupil’s progress and understanding.
