Access I T CLG

Access IT CLG formally the Computer Access Co-operative was established in 1997 through an identified need in the Ballybeg Community for training in Information Technology.

With the support of the Ballybeg Community Development Project, Local Volunteers, Waterford Regional Youth Services and the Department of Social Community and Family Affairs a working group of local people established a small computer room with 10 personal computers in the Parish Centre, which was opened to the public in late 1997.

The Voluntary Working group developed a training manual and delivered an Introductory and Advanced course in computers to small groups of local people on a voluntary basis. The group quickly identified the need for accreditation systems, and in 2000 with the aid of funding from the Ireland Funds became approved by the ECDL (European Computer Drivers Licence) as an accredited Training and Test Centre.
