IMHO the INGOTS provide a great competency based education as compared
to product training.  I guided my children through 'My First INGOT'
and helped my wife do an ECDL (sometimes needing to educate her beyond
the rote instructions supplied). They are also low cost, flexible and
promote 'community service'. In fact the INGOTS largely specify the
competencies and leave the delivery mechanisms to the provider. They
are are also suitable for CPD

Incidentally I have thought for some time that the earlier grades
could be a starting point for people with learning difficulties and as
they are flexible they should be easily adapted to cover Assistive
Technology.
