NOVA new opportunities is a UK Online centre offering accredited ICT (Information Communication Technology) courses for basic computer skills and open learning.

Our aim is to help people who have not had the opportunity to learn about computers, but who are keen to improve their basic skills and get ahead.

NOVA offers free and affordable classes to the unemployed. The class hours are arranged so that people on benefits will not be affected by attending the weekly sessions. Our entry level and new CLAIT level 1 courses end with recognised qualifications from OCR and ensure students are confident in Word Processing, Spreadsheets, Databases, Email and the Internet browsing – a great start in any workplace.
