13. What is the Outreach Programme?

As  a local learning provider, the BIVLC aims to offer ICT courses to those people who are unable to attend our courses at the Centre in Fortrose for whatever reason. We were provided with some local funding to enable us to purchase laptops to enable us to  offer courses in other locations.

This programme was trialled in Cromarty in 2006, when a group of ladies attended a six week "Computing for Absolute Beginners" course in the Victoria Hall. This was so successful that they asked for a further course which took place at the Cromarty Centre so that they could have access to the Internet.

In the Spring term, we provided "Computing for Absolute Beginners" at Findon Hall in Culbokie. This was so successful, that we have been asked to provide further courses in Culbokie. This term we are offering 3 courses in Fortrose, 2 courses in Culbokie and one course in Cromarty. See Spring Programme 2008 for details.



We hope to be able to offer this facility at other locations in the future. If you are interested in attending an outreach course in a location near you, then please email details to Estelle Ellwood.
