Hi Stuart, I have just been speaking with them today and yes they seem to know their stuff alright! There is a pre ECDL course too which Fas do which might be an option too! Many thanks, Tony Sweeney. ----- Original Message ----- From: Stuart Lawler To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Friday, June 22, 2007 4:01 PM Subject: [vip_students] Re: ECDL Courses Hi Tony, I can highly recommend Fas in Jervis Street Dublin. A number of instructors there have undergone training in the use of Assistive technology. Kind Regards, Stuart. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ From: vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vip_students-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tonysweeney Sent: 22 June 2007 00:01 To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vip_students] Re: ECDL Courses Hi Eleanor again, and All, Rather than just simply contacting Fas or other I was also trying to discern how individuals taking the ECDL courses who are blind, where they go for such training and if the facilities for them as blind students are adequate for their requirements. I understand that screenreaders if not already installed at the training venue that that can in most cases be easily sorted! What support did you find is available for blind students in terms of course material? Sorry, but it would be great to establish this. Great you got the ECDl sorted! All the best, Tony Sweeney. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eleanor McLoughlin To: vip_students@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 11:16 PM Subject: [vip_students] ECDL Courses Hello Tony, As Ger said in his e-mail, I completed my ECDl a year ago through FAS in Limerick which allowed me to work around the day that suited. Try and contact the main office in Dublin which I believe would give you the proper information on where you can abail of this in the Dublin area. I hope the above will give you the chance to persue of the ECDL course.
