Funding is available to anyone that meets the following conditions:

If they are not receiving active benefits (eg, are on income support) they can still be eligible if they don't have a Level 2 qualification (such as 5 GCSEs)..

This course is suitable for anyone actively using computers in an office role..

Why is it Funded?

It is a key priority for the government to increase IT skills among the unemployed to help them get into work. The qualification is therefore funded by the Skills Funding Agency.  There is currently funding until the end of July, so apply now!!!  To do this either call Suzi on 020 7375 7300 or email itq@happy.co.uk
