A new IT learning centre will hold a presentation evening.

More than 1,000 people having enrolled at the Carterton IT Learning Shop since it opened last September in the town's former post office in Brize Norton Road.

Students study four to six hours a week to gain nationally-recognised qualifications in a number of subjects including word processing, spreadsheets, desktop publishing and the Internet.

The centre is run by Abingdon and Witney College in partnership with IT provider Tekta, with support from the Oxford, Swindon and Gloucester Co-operative.

A presentation evening will be held in Monday, July 16, from 6pm to 8pm in the town hall, when the prizes will be presented by college principal Bob Challis.

Centre manager Gemma George said: "The event will be an excellent opportunity to congratulate students on their achievement and thank all of those who have been involved in making the centre such a success."
