CLAIT Level 1 (OCR Qualification)

The OCR Level 1 Certificate/Diploma for IT Users (New CLAiT) is a qualification designed to recognise the skills, knowledge and understanding of IT users everywhere, whether in employment, education or training. New CLAiT has been redeveloped to produce a qualification that provides a far clearer progression route to Level 2 at both unit level and whole qualification level. The new qualification aims to reflect and build on the strengths of the previous version, incorporating revised content, which now maps, where appropriate, to 100% of the National Occupational Standards. This takes account of recent software developments and provides greater flexibility, ease-of-use and relevance. Over 2 million people in the UK now hold CLAiT certificates, making CLAiT the benchmark qualification in IT.
