This

learners through the effective use of information and communication
technology (ICT). This is referred to as online learner support.
The
programme is designed to support the SQA Higher National Unit

What
ICT skills do I need?
Before

to individuals as well as setting up group emails and working
with attachments, file management in a windows environment and
web browsing and searching. These skills will not be taught
as part of the programme. If you do not have these skills
you should speak to your facilitator and/or training provider
to address this issue.
