Want improved employee IT skills?
Bottisham & Soham Business Training are
both offering the new Information
Technology Qualification
(ITQ) at levels 2 and 3
Flexible approach to IT
When it comes to developing IT skills
within your business, one size does not fit
all. IT needs vary from business to
business and from job to job. Completing
an ITQ will give your employees the
chance to develop the IT skills they need
to do a better job, making more use of
your IT systems and supporting your
organisation’s IT strategy.
The ITQ has been devised to allow for
different skills to be learned and assessed
at different levels – from word processing
and spreadsheet skills to bespoke units
which focus on the software and
technology that your organisation uses.
This improves individual employee skills
and can help accelerate the uptake of
new technology within your business. You
can also include bespoke modules to focus
on unique business-specific software to
ensure improved productivity and a better
return from your investment in
technology.
No time wasted covering old ground
To save time and resources where
employees already have an IT user
qualification, they can use it to count
towards the ITQ. This allows employees to
build and develop their skills to meet your
needs without having to face the demotivating
prospect of starting again or
having to demonstrate skills they’ve
already had assessed.
We will assess skill gaps.
This means candidates are only trained in
the skills they actually need and can
reduce the time spent on gaining the ITQ.
Easy assessment process
As far as possible assessments will take
place whilst employees are doing real
tasks at work. By allowing assessment to
occur ‘naturally’ using systems already in
place in your business, this reduces the
bureaucracy that can be involved with
assessments and minimises the impact on
staff time.
Who is an ITQ suitable for?
Any employee who uses IT in their day-today
work.
What will your staff learn?
The ITQ has one core unit – Make
Selective Use of IT – this deals with the
effective use and selection of IT
(hardware and software) to achieve tasks.
Additional units will vary depending on
the IT skills an employee needs to learn
for their specific job requirements.
Designed for each individual and
organisation’s needs
A tailored programme will be developed
which selects the most suitable units so
that you can have several employees each
taking a different route to achieve an
ITQ. The training at Bottisham and Soham
Business Centres provide the skills and
knowledge for a range of units covering
databases, spreadsheets, word processing
and presentation tools, to the use of the
Internet and intranets and electronic
communication methods.
It is likely that an employee will take
between three and five additional units to
achieve ITQ level 2 depending on their
current IT skills and their job
requirements, but this could be less if
they already have an IT qualification.
