Clait Advanced
The Clait
Advanced is ITeC's software-based Technical Certificate, which is
studied alongside our NVQ Level 3 IT Users qualification by those
learners aiming for software-related careers.
Clait
Advanced candidates are required to attend the ITeC on a day-release
basis on a fortnightly schedule, to receive unit tuition and
complete their unit assessments.
The Clait
Advanced consists of three units, one of which is mandatory. The
other two units are optional, and can be chosen from a list of six
offered by OCR. All three units are completed by working through a
detailed, realistic, and work-relevant scenario, which is designed
with input from the tutor, employer, and candidate and which is
targeted at the candidates needs, requirements, and interests. Each
scenario is therefore individually-tailored and unique.
