Upskilling in IT

    I have just been informed that I will be teaching ICT to TY's and 5th years next year. I taught both of these last year but I am interested in doing courses this year to upskill in the area of IT as I love it and would enjoy teaching it more in schools if I was not just teaching the run of the mill Word, Excel etc (I would be very comfortable with these programmes already)

    I was researching EDI/JEB Teacher's Diploma course however I feel I would already know most that they would teach in this course and it is a whopping €1000. I would love a course on web design or network maintenance. Basically i am trying to make myself as attractive as possible for future employement.

    Thanks :)

    Network+ maybe?

    I'm not too sure about A+ as that usually involves opening up computers and a few opportunistic lads might start swiping RAM on you. Or perhaps some basic programming?

    I had never heard of this course before. Just had a quick look at it there. Sounds exactly what I would be looking for. I am going to investigate further. Thanks again!

    Not an upskilling course, but something that you could teach with a little bit of research on your own part.

    Basically programming with a visual interface.
