The IT Essentials (QCF) – Level 2 Course is designed for students who want to gain a good all-round knowledge of using a computer and its associated software. The course will give you a fundamental knowledge of the use of computers, the Internet, Email, security and it will also focus on the use of the important software packages included in the Microsoft Office suite (Excel, Word, PowerPoint and Access). This course is designed for people who use technology at work, in education, when looking for work, or in their leisure time.

The course covers accredited ITQ (IT User Qualification) units listed on Ofqual and can lead to a Level 2 QCF (Qualification and Curriculum Framework) qualification. The ITQ is a nationally-recognised qualification for those who need digital skills as users of technology. The European Computer Driving License (ECDL) is an example of ITQ Units that lead to a qualification.

The IT Essentials (QCF) – Level 2 Course can be used:

To gain a relevant Level 2 Certificate Qualification with 31 Credits;
As a study guide for students who wish to complete the European Computer Driving License (ECDL) tests; and
As a course for students to follow to gain relevant skills and knowledge and leading to a certificate of completion issued by Distance Learning Centre.

You can read our blog about the advantages of studying the IT Essentials (QCF) – Level 2 Course when compared with studying for ECDL.
