For sponsors building a campaign in education technology, here's a foundation that FITS
The FITS Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation created specifically to provide training and accreditation for technicians in educational establishments.
FITS (Framework for ICT Technical Support) is a set of guidance processes designed to streamline ICT service management and delivery in schools.
Evidence has shown that implementing FITS processes cuts the costs of ICT support provision, delivers a higher return on ICT investment and a positive impact on teaching and learning outcomes.
Accreditations
FITS, originally developed by Becta, the government agency leading the national drive to ensure the effective and innovative use of technology throughout learning, is now managed and supported through The FITS Foundation.
The FITS Foundation's goal is to provide a clear career path for ICT technicians in schools through their accreditations, both of which are internationally recognised qualifications and listed on the QCA register. The accreditations provide technicians with NVQ levels 4 and 5 qualifications.
The FITS Foundation is now inviting sponsors to help them in their objectives of professionalising the technical workforce, providing improved returns on ICT investment and a positive impact on the teaching and learning experiences.
