Commmunity IT Academy

Formerly administered by Ruralnet it is now being run and re-developed by NAVCA.

Net:Gain is a brand that recognises that IT should work for you and not be the tail that wags the dog.

Net:Gain lite provides the same answers and tools that help an organisation plan an IT development and make a case to funders, but lowers the time commitment for the learning process.

Complemented by the online strategy tool, Circuit Riding and our other IT services this training offers an in depth and guided approach towards IT planning.

Our aim is to tailor our approach to meet the needs of individual groups, we provide;

• One to one help throughout the programme
• On-going support
• Access to a wide range of supporting services

"The Community IT Academy assisted Children North East through the net:gain process. Lewis took an open, flexible and creative approach to helping us to define our needs and meet our aspirations. His clear understanding of the constraints facing the third sector enabled us to move forward incrementally and to make choices appropriately. The relationship was very useful in enabling us to make decisions."  Children North East

"I found the training day very useful and informative. The knowledge gained will certainly help me ensure we have an IT system that answers our needs. The opportunity to network with other organisations on the day was helpful as was the discussion prompted by the differing needs of the organisations present. Net: gain staff were welcoming and efficient. Thank you. " Lifeline, Sunderland
