Over the last three years 160 students have been awarded certification in ECDL and computer awareness, after successfully completing courses organised by the Foundation for Information Technology Accessibility.

FITA is the principal advocate and coordinator for making information communications technology accessible for people with a disability in Malta and Gozo.

One of FITA’s services involves providing ICT training courses for person with vision or intellectual impairments, in order for them to use technology effectively and be able to contribute productively to the society and the economy.

Apart from the inherent certifications, these courses act as an incentive for disabled students to study further and obtain higher level ICT certification in combination with MCAST ICT courses wherever possible.

In 2010 FITA extended these courses to Gozo with the support of the Ministry for Gozo.

FITA is working on Maltese educational software and a Maltese speech engine that will support pre-literate or illiterate students, both young and adult.
