The OCR Level 1 Certificate/Diploma for IT Users (New CLAiT 2006) is a qualification designed to recognise the skills, knowledge and understanding of IT users everywhere, whether in employment, education or training.
The course has been redeveloped to produce a qualification that provides a far clearer progression route to Level 2 at both unit level and whole qualification level.
The new qualification aims to reflect and build on the strengths of the previous version, incorporating revised content, which now meets the National Occupational Standards, nationally recognised benchmarks of performance.
