Course Information

SITSS courses will provide course members with the necessary ICT skills, knowledge and understanding to help schools use ICT as an effective solution to their administrative and management needs. Our training programme includes a range of courses designed to teach skills which can be employed in almost all aspects of school life.

Course tutors are members of School IT Systems Support, each of whom has a specialist knowledge of ICT systems used within schools. For some courses we include outside speakers and teachers who can demonstrate the contribution particular ICT applications are making to the effectiveness of their schools.

In addition to our published courses, we are able to provide training courses suited to schools precise requirements. These can be held at their school or at the ICT Centre at Hertfordshire Development Centre. Where appropriate, courses are run in conjunction with colleagues who have a particular specialisation.

Please book as early as possible to avoid disappointment. Where there is high demand, we will try to schedule extra courses. Booking SITSS courses is now available through the Hertfordshire Councy Council on-line booking system. You can book courses and will electronically receive your confirmation and parking permit.
