The Information Technology qualification is a nationally-recognised qualification that demonstrates proficiency in software and IT - custom-made to an individual, specific job or role in the workplace.

An independent Assessor first assesses your workplace/job, then trains you in the skills you need, before assessing your ability to carry out 'real life' tasks using these newly acquired skills.

As the ITQ is unique to the individual, there are a number of steps to be gone through to ensure the training programme is ideally matched to your needs.

•  ITQs are made up of a number of modules selected from a core list and at three different 'mix and match' levels.
•  You will be enrolled upon your first course and can begin your training.
•  You will be given a minimum of two weeks to complete each module and must provide evidence of your ability from the Tasks given to you by your Tutor.
•  These Tasks may be carried out in the workplace, in a mock environment in the training centre or by a simple Question and Answer session.
•  All this evidence is checked by your Tutor and will be placed in your individual portfolio as you build towards achieving the full ITQ qualification.

Once you have successfully completed all your required modules, you will receive a nationally recognised certificate from City & Guilds for the ITQ.

Completion time
As every Learner has different skills levels and different needs, any completion time is difficult to predict. However, an average Learner spending six hours a week training should be able to achieve their ITQ in eight to twelve weeks.
