Might I perhaps suggest that people take a serious look at
http://www.bcab.org.uk/training.html
This is an initiative taken by the British Computer
Association of the Blind (BCAB) in response to complaints
about poor standards of training in the use of I.T.
equipment.
Many organisations, including the Department of Employment
for example, are now insisting that contracted trainers are
BTCS (BCAB Trainer Certification Scheme) approved.
Food for thought?

"Recently, some students have informed us that they felt
pressurized
into accepting training provided by their University.
Please note that the LEA only uses training companies who
are
thoroughly reliable and have many years' experience.with
