Facing Redundancy
Do you use IT core part of your work? Are you a secretary or administrator?
Are you at risk of redundancy or already been made redundant?
Do you want to take the opportunity to make some changes while building on your existing skills or look for a similar role?
If the answer is YES to any of these 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.
For Secretarial or PA roles requiring IT skills you should consider an ITQ and Text Processing qualifications.
For Administrator roles 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 the OCR Administration and ITQ, at levels 1, 2 or 3.
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 of 2 hours a week. If you are a beginner you may wish to start with one hour sessions. If you want to fast track then you can come in more frequently.
Our fees are designed to make our courses accessible so please call us to discuss your future.
