Course description

TQUK Level 2 Certificate in IT User Skills - Funded Online Course

This course aims to help develop your knowledge, understanding, and competence in a variety of different IT areas. This course is ideal for those who work with IT within their current job role, and for those who are familiar with using a computer and Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint). In order, to complete this course you will need access to a computer and a basic level of IT knowledge. It may also be favourable to have some level of confidence in producing your own documents in Word, PowerPoint, and Excel (as you will need to do this as part of your assessment).

This course will encourage you to think about how IT can be used in a number of different ways, as you are introduced to specific tools that will assist you in utilising IT in everyday life. You will consider the best software and tools available for specific tasks and will do this with the view of improving both your productivity and efficiency. You will also learn about the importance of IT security; from email spam, to firewalls and computer viruses. And as you make progress through the course you will look in detail at presentation and spreadsheet software and will be assessed on your understanding and use of these.
