Electric Paper broadens product portfolio

E-learning company Electric Paper, part of Irish company ThirdForce, today announced the launch of courseware for the New CLAIT (Computer Literacy and Information Technology) qualification, which is accredited by OCR, one of the UK's leading awarding bodies.

New CLAIT is part of the UK's most popular suite of IT user qualifications and is currently offered at over 4,500 centres ranging from secondary schools, colleges and private training organisations, through to commercial organisations, prisons and hospitals.

ThirdForce chief executive Brendan O'Sullivan commented: "Raising productivity and competitiveness through IT training is a focus of the UK Government.

OCR is responsible to the British government to award qualifications to students at school, college, in work or through part-time learning programmes. It was formed in 1998 from the University of Cambridge Local Examination Syndicate and RSA
