Students are rewarded for Crowthorne computing excellence
More than 40 students with disabilities were rewarded for their hard work and dedication to various computer courses last month at the Karten CTEC Centre in Crowthorne.
Students who used the Crowthorne centre to take IT courses were presented with certificates in honour of their qualifications, at the Celebration of Achievement event, by the then mayor of the Wokingham Borough Cllr Annette Drake.
The presentation ceremony recognised the achievements of students who had completed training courses such as OCR CLAIT and National Open College Network Opening Doors to ICT and was hosted by Rod Clay, director of Ravenswood Village, Crowthorne.
The Crowthorne Karten Centre provides computer-aided training and education for people with disabilities. The centre is run in partnership by charity Norwood and Wokingham Borough Council and is based at Ravenswood Village in Crowthorne.
Ravenswood Village is a residential community owned by Norwood, a leading UK charity that supports children and families with learning disabilities, or coping with social difficulties. Residents of Ravenswood Village and adults with disabilities from the local community attend courses at the centre. It was established by Ian Karten, MBE, in 1997 to provide computer-led education for disabled people, people with special needs and people with learning disabilities.
Cllr Annette Drake, said: “It was wonderful to present these very special people with their certificates to celebrate their achievement of qualifications in IT. We are very proud of our people with learning difficulties who have received recognition for their hard work and I’m pleased to have taken part in the special event, my last event before passing the Mayoral chain to my successor. I recognise how much effort went into training the students, who obtained these practical qualifications in IT.”
Rod Clay, Director of Ravenswood Village, said: “It was a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the achievements that the students have all made during the last year and to recognise their progress.”
