    I'm starting the Essential IT Skills @ Work course soon. There aren't many courses funded here, which is odd considering Blackburn's poverty levels :confused: You can only get courses if you're in employment here, kinda ironic.

    I did the Health and Safety online course with V2L over a year ago. I've got a degree so I think the criteria have changed. The course was pretty easy and like a previous poster I did it in about 3 weeks. The qualification is useful to me but I can understand why a lot of people would drop out - it was fairly uninteresting and dry coursework.

    Hi,

    Are there any ITQ Assessor/Internal Verifier here? I need some advice.

    Currently I am doing ITQ Level 2 through Vision2Learn. I already have NVQ Bus Admin Level 3 which includes units of ITQ spreadsheet level 3 and Use IT to Exchange information Level 2.

    My assessor has confirmed that I do not have to redo the both units and they should count toward my ITQ but they are not sure how this will be done. It is called APL or API. My assessor have emailed the verifier for some advice.

    Can anyone advice how this will be deone? Will the Business Admin certificate will be sufficient which they already have or I have submitt everything again?

    Thanks
    MS

    Not 1 of the courses on the list are available through funding in either the Dudley or Wolverhampton area :mad:
