Frequently Asked Questions


What is ILA funding, and how do I get it?
ILA (Individual Learning Account) is a funding system set up by the Scottish Executive in association with Learn Direct to finance adult training. Anyone can apply for an ILA; you just need to be over 16 and resident in Scotland. The funding available is set at a level of £200 per year if your annual income is less than £22000. For more details, and to apply for your ILA, visit the ILA Scotland website.

What if I only want to learn one or two of the subjects in ECDL? Do I still need to take all the modules?
You can take whichever of the modules you like in whatever order you want; you are under no obligation to complete the ECDL course. That said, if you do not successfully complete all seven modules you will not receive any certification.

Do you offer concessions for those on low income?
Regrettably, no. Clip ICT is a small organisation with limited funding, and as such we are unable to offer concessions.

I work shifts, could I attend classes at different times from week to week?
Absolutely. We aim to be as flexible as possible and generally run the same course simultaneously on different days and times, enabling you to attend (for instance) a morning class one week and an evening class the next. We also encourage you to come at any time during our office hours to catch up or just to spend some time practicing.
