BCS, the british computer society, is who accredits the ECDL, they should be
able to tell you which providers are able to deliver an accessible couse. Note
that there are really 2 components to any course, the course it's self and the
assessment. Not all course centres are accreditation centres so before you
spend too long doing the learning make sure you are also set to do your
assessment with an appropriate provider too.

Hi. Try Nvq or the new ITQ qualification. They are paper based as they
consist of units in which require tasks relating to Word excel and other
common apps. The ECDL IT course still requires you to use the Windows 2000
operating system. Hell knows why it's considered as a recognized
qualification in this day in age.
