Ken,

I am looking to see if I can do some voluntary unpaid teaching (night classes and so forth). I don't have a teaching cert or qulaification, but I'd like to teach basic skills type stuff. I've been onto the basic skills site, but that seems to be geared to people earning £25k a year, and paying mega bucks for teaching quals.

I have written IT guidance and run training courses internally in work, both for users and IT support staff.

I merely want to start giving something back to the local community. I see lots of people I help who have little or no IT skills, and who merely want to be able to know how to turn a machine on, surf the net, make sure they and their kids are safe from viruses and suchlike.

Any ideas?

Cheers

John

not meaning to butt in on your ping, but I have found work through this website http://www.it4communities.org.uk/it4c/home/index.jsp and I'm sure they'd be able to give you a few tips/work/experience in or around your area

I am the tech support for a local mental health charity and, ultimately, it is quite rewarding to be able to contribute to those less IT-literate than ourselves, as I'm sure we can all remember that time when we found things confusing. (I still do now to be honest, for example, this Cisco stuff I'm reading up on now is going take some time to wrap my head around it)

 

Thanks Wassup.

Just opened the page. I'll have a look and see if they have anything local to me.

Cheers

Thanks for getting back Ken.

I am about 3 miles from Lincoln. Bit too far from Northants.

The discount/arrangement idea sounds useful. I'll give that a 'look into'.

Cheers

Excellent! Thanks Ken. Looking at it now. If I need more info, I'll let you know.

I signed up for the it4communities last night. Nearest place needing help to me is in Leicester...

Cheers

John
