iTQ- Certificate for IT Users Levels 1-3 |
|
| |
ITQ is an innovative NVQ for IT Users, with a unique 'pick and mix' design. It's ideal for those in the workplace and in college, as it allows candidates to choose exactly which units best reflect their level of skill. There is even a bespoke unit that can be customised for specific applications so you can offer units to suit anyone's needs.
iTQ is suitable for anybody who uses IT and the flexible structure means that it can be adapted for almost any workplace or job or intended career. Evidence can be collected from naturally occurring IT activities that are undertaken for a specific and real purpose. This means that learners don't have to be in the workplace in order to achieve the qualification. The purpose and general content of the end product may be specified by the end user however the candidate must select and use IT to achieve the end product. In many situations the end product will be specified by the candidate's employer or client or the centre. However, valid evidence can also arise from: |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
the search for employment (eg CVs, job applications and emails to potential employers) |
|
social activities (eg club membership databases, posters and websites) |
|
enterprise activities (eg business plans, budgets and marketing materials) |
|
voluntary activities (eg cash flows, programmes and newsletters) |
|
|
learning and studying subjects other than IT (eg internet research for a geography assignment, reports/dissertations and presentations) |
|
