Edinburgh Community Technology Academy

What we did

  • The Edinburgh Community Technology Academy is a partnership project lead by the Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce under a Joined up for Jobs initiative, delivering IT training to jobseekers across 5 centres in the City of Edinburgh. Courses offered are: MOS, IT Essentials, CCent and CCNA.

  • The site build is based on the MODx CMS which gives the ECTA partners the ability to manage content on the relevant section of the site. Using MODx also provides the scalability required to let authorised web authors add new site sections as courses develop and centres grow. For ECTA, this choice of an open source CMS framework was invaluable as it kept costs down, offered the design approach they wanted, added the value of a committed support community and allowed site management to be carried out in a devolved way by centre managers.
