7 Teaching Assistants at Kings Road Primary School are celebrating after recently achieving their Level 1 NVQ in Information Technology (iTQ).
The iTQ course is based on assessing how people use computers and IT in their work and leads to nationally recognised City & Guilds qualifications. The Course was delivered by tutors at St. Antony's Centre in Trafford Park. To make it easier for staff to take part in the programme the course was delivered on-site over several months at times to suit their working day.
The next stage for many of the learners is to register for Level 2 qualifications as part of their on-going professional development.
Richard Lait, Head of the School, commented: "We all continue to learn throughout our lives and it's great to celebrate the hard work and achievements of staff at the School."
Tom Fredrickson, Training Manager at St. Antony's Centre stated: "It has been a pleasure to work with the Teaching Assistants because of their commitment to develop new skills and improve their ability to support pupils and colleagues."
Pictured receiving their certificates from Tom Fredrickson and Richard Lait are l-r: Fiona Grant, Sanna Anwar, Catherine Gallon, Beverley Scott, Iffat Waqar and Farhana Latief.
The training was funded by the Learning & Skills Council and European Social Fund. It is open to anyone who is currently employed and lives or works in Greater Manchester.
