This guide covers the topics for all ten main units in the level 1 New CLAIT (Computer Literacy and Information Technology) qualification and is endorsed by OCR (Oxford Cambridge and RSA examinations)

If you already have level 1 New CLAIT, this guide will be useful when you are studying the remaining units in the syllabus to prepare for the level 2 CLAIT Plus.

Exercises and checklists
For every unit there is an exercise built along the lines of the New CLAIT assessment tests, with checklists and answers to help you validate your prints as an indication of your success.

Download New CLAIT data files
Computer Step provides a structured set of data files that you can download to get yourself started with the exercises, just like the files that would be provided on a CLAIT course or workshop.

Based on Windows XP
The contents are based on Windows XP, though the information provided is largely applicable to PCs using most versions of Windows.

Self study or Tutor led
You can use this book as a study aid to bring yourself up to speed ready to take the New CLAIT assessment, or tutors could use it as the basis for a classroom course or new syllabus qualification.
