Hi Tony,

Fas also do an ecdl course on line. You could check it out on the website. I am 
in Drogheda and I know one of the instructors in the Drogheda office is JAWS 
proficient. Maybe if you contact your local office they may be able to point 
you in the right direction.

I know you said that the course in Finglas on a saturday doesn't suit, but it 
is very good and all JAWS orientated. (I must get some commision off Paula for 
all this advertising!).

Good Luck with that.

Petrina Finn

  Hi Ger,

  Thanks for getting in touch.

  I did some learning with Fas in Tallagh a couple of years ago and I found 
that I.T accessability for VI's wasn't as it should have been!

  I would admit however that my knowledge of Jaws wasn't as reasonably good as 
it is now!

  It was audio-visual learning and the lessons were stopped every so often for 
questions by the system and then you had to be able to manipulate the mouse to 
restart the learning again!

  Do you know if the courses you checked out are suitable for say Jaws users?

  I have no doubt that not all Fas courses are not in that bracket of 
accessability deficit, but where are they?

  The course was supposed to be designed to facilitate blind students as an 
integral part of the class!  

  By the way I am very close to Kildare so I would love feedback for places of 
I.T learning there too. 

  Perhaps others around the country might be interested to know of such courses 
in their area also!

  All the best,

  Tony Sweeney.

    Hi Tony 
    The only suggestion for an ECDL course in the Dublin is Fas.  I am 
currently waiting to go back to Fas here, but  Fas are renevotating some of 
their buildings. Hope this is of some help.Ger.
