IT in the Office

According to IT Insights: Trends and UK Skills Implications:

• IT users must learn to develop the skill to exploit rather than simply use IT.
• 21% of companies believe that they have IT user skills gaps.

The above statements indicate that most people have some knowledge of the standard office IT applications. However, skill levels vary so much that full advantage of these packages is not being taken; time and productivity may be suffering as a result.

How do you find out who needs to know more about what? Effective assessment is key; it can greatly reduce the training time and budget requirements.

ITQ is the National Vocational Qualification for IT Users which demonstrates staff competence in the use of IT in the workplace. Used in conjunction with the 'e-skills Passport', this is a highly customisable IT training programme designed to provide your employees with the skills they need to carry out their jobs more effectively. Account is taken of the skills they already have - so qualifications are achieved more efficiently.

For more information on ITQ and the e-skills Passport, please visit the ITQ e-skills website.

NetworkMods training staff have achieved the ECDL 'Expert' level, as well as having numerous years practical experience in a variety of office environments.

We are happy to:

• assist with your training needs assessments.
• provide on-site training for small groups.
