Technician Support Service

This extra service will enable your teaching staff to concentrate on teaching and learning in the classroom, while we take care of the day-to-day issues that might compromise the efficient use of your admin and curriculum IT systems.

The service enables schools to have regular scheduled visits ranging from a half a day a month up to a day a week. The level of service required will be determined by the size / complexity of your system, level of existing available expertise in school and budget.

Every effort will be made to ensure that the same technician undertakes these regular visits but this cannot be guaranteed in all instances. The benefit of this is that the Cleartwo Technician will get to know your system and set-up, to ensure that the solutions are not just technically viable but are suited to your mode of working.

This service will also allow a more consistent approach to such matters as Health & Safety, Asset Management and Time Recording.

Consultancy

IT is transforming teaching and learning. This short statement summarises the educational initiatives which have encouraged schools to use IT in exciting and innovative ways. In such a fast-moving field, selecting the best technical solutions to support a school's curriculum aims can be difficult. Un-informed choices may prove costly.

 

At Cleartwo, we believe that by working in partnership with schools, the most appropriate IT solutions can be designed which will help achieve the IT vision. This consultancy service draws upon the experience of IT consultants who can offer to schools a balance of technical knowledge and curriculum understanding during the project design. The ability to liaise with IT suppliers and specialist firms allows Cleartwo to provide hardware, software, networking and room design advice for any particular project. Some of our more recent projects include whole school IT systems for new building initiatives, incorporating wireless technologies and personal learning systems.

 

Cleartwo has expanded the consultancy services to include advice to many community IT initiatives. These IT drop-in centres often require an innovative design which will attract the local population to explore the new technologies and develop their IT skills in a supportive environment. Cleartwo is recognised by major suppliers as an important influence in IT initiatives, and as such, is able to bring new ideas and developments to community learning projects.

Project Management

There are several phases to implementing an IT project.

Our costs are based on a day-rate basis for the project completion but you may wish to take advantage of our free initial consultancy to outline your needs.
