IT1 Using Your Computer (IT for Life)

As businesses become increasingly reliant on computers, it’s vital that you develop basic IT skills if you don’t want to be left behind.

This course gives you plenty of hands-on practice as you develop computer knowledge and confidence.

As you learn, there are plenty of handy fact files to print out and collect. These take away guides are a great way to help you remember all the new skills and are useful to refer back to long after you’ve finished the course.

The course is designed for beginners, so there’s no jargon to confuse you, just simple, step-by-step instructions to help you feel comfortable around computers, no matter how nervous you are.

The course begins by looking at the different parts of a typical desktop computer system and helps you to master the basics - from switching on the computer to understanding the most common IT terms.

Then you'll learn how to:

• Find your way around the computer
• Open and use programmes
• Shut down your computer when you have finished.

By completing this course you’ll be working towards the ITQ - a personalised, flexible qualification that helps you to become more effective in your job and demonstrates your skills and experience to your employer.

Having the ITQ under your belt could really boost your CV and help you get ahead at work.
