What We Do - Training

We help people get to grips with information, technology and software by providing face-to-face and online training.

Digital Imaging

TASI training event

ILRT is home to TASI (Technical Advisory Service for Images). TASI runs a successful training programme of hands-on workshops, catering for all levels in a wide range of technical subjects including digital photography, scanning, Photoshop, image copyright and metadata.

Workshops are run in small groups, giving attendees plenty of opportunity to discuss individual issues with the tutors and other participants. The learning activities are supported by illustrated workbooks, providing each participant with detailed reference materials to take away with them. Workshops are run regularly at various venues around the UK.

“I felt that I had gained a lot of useful knowledge. The handouts are very concise. I was impressed by the wealth of knowledge of the presenters who didn't fail to answer individual enquiries throughout the day.”
Carolyn Boreham, London College of Fashion, University of the Arts London

Internet Research Skills

Intute training event

ILRT is also home to the Intute: Virtual Training Suite, which provides free Internet tutorials to help you learn how to get the best from the web for education and research. The tutorials are written and updated by a national team of subject specialists based in universities and colleges across the UK.

Each tutorial covers Internet search and research skills for a different subject - there's one for most of the subjects taught in UK universities and colleges, with a few extras on topics of general interest. The service is aimed at students, lecturers and researchers in UK higher and further education, but is freely available for anyone to use.

ILRT staff also run Intute training events on using the Internet for learning and research, and produce Intute support materials to guide students and staff to the best of the web.
