Diploma for IT Users

The Diploma is aimed at those that use PC’s in their working lives and recognises that the vast majority of people use Microsoft Office products (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint etc) on a regular basis. The Diploma is a full level 2 qualification which is equivalent to five GCSE’s (grades A-C).

As a Microsoft Gold partner we have trained over 100,000 delegates in Microsoft Office and have worked with the City & Guilds to design a programme that is both relevant and flexible to both employers and their staff. It also helps that there is funding from the LSC (Learning and Skills Council) to make it affordable to everybody! On a commercial basis such a programme would normally cost in excess of £1500.

It is mandatory to complete at least 4 days of training but there are a total of 8 days available as follows :-
