Greenbank College’s Information Technology Department offers a wide range of courses suitable for learners at all levels of experience and knowledge.

Good IT skills are vital in the work place and Greenbank College courses allow the learner to build on skills and demonstrate ability through the completion of a range of accredited qualifications.

iTQs demonstrate to employers that learners have achieved a recognised, national standard in IT and are a good way to make sure that IT skills are up to date. iTQ’s are flexible and experience and previous IT qualifications may count towards achievement.

ECDL Extra covers units such as word processing and spreadsheets and any credits obtained can be transferred to higher level iTQ qualifications.

Learners on iTQ courses are encouraged to demonstrate their skills through work place examples, particularly by undertaking work experience placement or combining the course with employment.

As well as general IT qualifications the department also offers a number of subject specific courses including E-Safety, which gives learners the knowledge and understanding needed to protect themselves online by covering potential risks, protecting personal information and legal issues.
