ITQ
Say good-bye to one-size-fits-all IT training
Many organisations rely on technology to be competitive in
today’s increasingly complex marketplace. Changing
technologies are creating ever-new challenges and
opportunities. Employers are often confused by the plethora of
IT qualifications available. Many existing qualifications do
deliver the skills required, but employers struggle with the
complexity and relevance of the skills on offer.
What is ITQ?
ITQ is a flexible IT user qualification package that is tailored
to ensure your staff are trained in precisely the skills they
need. It is based on a national framework of skills that
covers the core range of everyday IT user skills (14 techniques
such as word-processing, spreadsheets, database management,
security etc.)
What makes ITQ unique?
ITQ is unique as it recognises what’s best in current
qualifications. It can be tailored to each organisation’s or
individual’s requirements and does not involve learning skills that
won’t be needed or used.
The ITQ can assess your current IT skills levels by using a
specially developed tool that simply and effectively analyses what
IT skills users need to perform at their peak.
Key benefits of ITQ
- It’s truly flexible – ITQ enables your staff
to develop skills at different levels, according to the type of
organisation and the role of the individual.
- Bespoke units can be included – Bespoke units,
incorporating software unique to your organisation, can be included
to meet these specific needs.
- Cross recognition by awarding bodies – If your
staff already have an IT user qualification, they can use it to
count towards the ITQ.
- Less bureaucratic assessment – The ITQ process
uses the ‘assess – train – assess’ model to create an ITQ tailor
made for your needs. This starts with an evaluation of your
organisation’s IT user requirements.
