What Is Involved With Delivering This Course?

With guidance a learner will be able to operate information and communication software or hardware with knowledge and understanding at the relevant level in a variety of topics they undertake.

The qualifications can be delivered in either the classroom or the workplace. Learners are assessed through:

  • Portfolio of evidence (paper or electronic)
  • Scenario based assignments
  • Using 'expert witnesses' from within an organisation
  • Observation
  • Professional discussion
  • A combination of the above.
Approval Process
If you're an existing approved centre delivering a City & Guilds ITQ (4322 or 7541) or e-Quals 07 (7266), then you will be offered automatic approval to deliver the ITQ. If you are not using City & Guilds IT qualifications, then you will need to complete a qualification approval form (QAP).
Organisations which are not already City & Guilds centres must apply for centre and qualification approval.

Physical resources
Centres must provide access to sufficient equipment in the centre or workplace to ensure candidates have the opportunity to cover all of the practical activities.

Centres are encouraged to gather evidence through the use of an e-portfolio like Learning Assistant from City & Guilds, though tools in current use are also acceptable.

Level 1

A Level 1 user can make use of predefined or commonly used IT tools for activities that are straightforward or routine, identifying and using automated methods or alternative ways of working to improve productivity. Any aspect that is unfamiliar will require support and advice from other people.

An activity will typically be ‘straightforward or routine’ because:

  • The task or context will be familiar and involve few factors (for example, time available, audience needs, message, structure); and
  • The techniques used will be familiar or commonly undertaken.
