What are Apprenticeships?
Apprenticeships are your chance to study for practical skills and qualifications that employers really value, and at the same time gain real world experience by working for an employer. The IT User Apprenticeship covers the use of IT in the workplace, providing skills which can be applied to many job functions and roles.
Why do an IT User Apprenticeship?
Recent research shows that more than 90% of new jobs in the UK require the use of Information and Communication Technology, yet more than half of UK employers feel that their staff do not have sufficiently developed IT User skills – so the IT qualifications you will gain are extremely valuable in the job market.
What training will I receive?
You'll get in-depth, hands-on training in today's most widely used business software packages, including Windows, Word, Outlook, Excel, PowerPoint and Access. You’ll work towards an ITQ - the new Information Technology Qualification - at level 2, the equivalent of 5 GCSEs at grades A-C.
You'll also learn other Key Skills that are essential for career progression in any role across a variety of industries. Key Skills may include Communication and Application of Number, depending on your prior GSCE achievements.
How long does the Apprenticeship take?
Our IT User Apprenticeships normally take up to 9 months. You'll attend training sessions at Information Horizons approximately once a month and will receive support in the work place from a qualified assessor throughout your Apprenticeship.How do I get started on an Apprenticeship?
