Adivse for a work based course in compters?

I have a jounor at work who started and completed certificate level of AAT but has now decided she definitley does not want to move up to next level.
But i would like her to brush up on computer skills excel, word ect... now i completed clait myself and think it is a good course but not really accountancy focused.
Anyone have any ideas on a course other than AAT she can do to help with work?

oo i remember this course i did the IBT11 instead but if definiatley a good ideda thanks mikes :thumbup1:
I agree the ECDL seems to be the most popular one for people brushing up on their computer skills. I have found a lot of people have this qualification on their C.V these days.
but why the hell is it DRIVING ? youve got no pedals not steering wheel ?
so heres a slightly off topic question what has a computor and a car got in common(for them to use driving licence ?)
They both drive you round the bend?
You obviously haven't seen the nintendo wii version! Lol
I paid about £10 for an interactive cdrom on ebay!
It takes around 50 hours of study to complete
Are you kidding? I studied each unit for an hour then took the tests :huh:
My college offered the course alongside the AAT so I did it as extra and it was definitely worth doing.
And what does the exam include ?
This might help, I did the ecdl years ago when i left school in a college nearby i think i got paid to do the course aswell.
It gives a good insight into the basics on a pc, brush up on excel etc.
There were 7 altogether
Using the computer
Managing files
Word processing
Spreadsheets
Databases
Presentation
Information and communication
The first 2, and ICT were written tests I think, and the others were like simulations, you were given a scenario and some data and you had to create a spreadsheet, presentation etc.
But I did mine over 3 years ago so it might have changed!
A few years ago I wanted to do the Advanced ECDL,mostly for the piece of paper, but the local college that offered as home study (the very excellent Truro College where I did my AAT only offered it as a classroom based course) said I had to do the basic ECDL first (this is despite me having used Word for more than 10 years, being being well up with Excel and being able to write complex SQL queries in my sleep). I gave up pretty quickly, partly because it was so boring and partly because they wouldn't let me do all the exams at once which would have entailed three afternoons off work.
Who cant do that?
