     This project aims to improve the quality and range of
     university IT training in Cardiff through a joint venture
     between UWCC and established professional IT training
     organisations.  Areas which will be developed jointly
     include course development management techniques, course
     presentation skills, course evaluation methods and course
     administration techniques.
      
     Many different forms of joint venture agreements are
     possible.  An essential element of this project will be to
     explore these possibilities with a range of commercial IT
     training organisations and to advise and support other
     university Computing Centres wishing to embark upon joint
     training ventures.
      

     IT training development workshops for UK Computing Centre
     staff containing a large element of training provided by
     commercial IT training organisations are also planned as
     part of this project.
