Making a Career Change

Do you want to take make some changes to your career plans while building on your existing skills?

If the answer is YES it is important that you have demonstrable IT skills to offer a prospective employer rather than relying on the self-taught skills at variable levels that met your previous needs.

The following courses may suit you:

Those requiring in-depth knowledge of specific IT applications should consider Microsoft Office Specialist (Office 2003) or Microsoft Certified Application Specialist (Office 2007). These are globally recognised industry standards but require a sound knowledge of an application before you start.

For Administrator roles (perhaps combined with a wider role) using IT you might want to consider the OCR Administration and ITQ qualifications, both of which are available at levels 1, 2 and 3.

For combined Administrator and Secretarial roles you might want to OCR Administration and ITQ qualifications at levels 1, 2 or 3.

For Secretarial or PA roles requiring IT skills you should consider the ITQ and Text Processing qualifications.

Training

All our courses are flexible and based on taking you from your current skill level to where you want or need to be. We do not waste your time teaching you what you already know. This makes it difficult to estimate the time you will require but we ask you to call in to discuss your plans and your present skills and we will then give you an estimated time scale and cost. Fee scales are shown elsewhere on the website. We recommend coming in for at least 1 session a week, which are usually a maximum of 2 hours.

Our fees are designed to make our courses accessible so please call us to discuss your future.
