  • IT User Skills (ITQ) Puzzlebox Potential's Unique Qualification Route - Levels 1/2/3 at Award, Certificate & Diploma

    Puzzlebox Potential's unique route to achieving the IT User (ITQ) qualification allows, for the first time, Mind Mapping and visual learning applications to be used to meet the required standards for this nationally recognised qualification.

    The ITQ provides an up-to-date, nationally recognised IT user qualification tailored to business and individual needs, and can attract government funding for educational establishments and training providers (subject to conditions)

    Our unique route has been approved by e-skills UK, the Sector Skills Council for Business and Information Technology, and the Awarding Organisation EDI. Traditionally completing the ITQ qualification required candidates to learn multiple office applications and produce evidence for each of these applications, however with our route to completion candidates may only have to learn one, highly intuitive, piece of software to produce their evidence. This route makes completing the fundable ITQ qualification more inclusive and the delivery of the qualification more cost effective.

    Organisations wishing to deliver this route to the ITQ will need to be trained and approved by Puzzlebox Potential and will be provided with a complete "in-a-box" solution for delivery.

    Duration: Delivery Duration and Guided learning hours as per normal ITQ

    Suitable for: Educational establishments and Training providers.
