IT Professional Training Centre is an SQA (Scottish Qualifications Authority) approved organisation.

Centre Name: IT Professional Training Centre No. : 3017451 IT Professional Training is an approved Scottish Qualification Authority (SQA) centre; where we currently offer Higher National Certificate (HNC) and Higher National Diploma (HND). We conduct HNC Computing, Computer Networking and HND Computing in the Technical Support, Networking, Soft ware Development, Computer Science field. And as per the rules and regulations of SQA, ITPT has to adhere strictly to SQA teaching centre quality standards. We are subjected to unscheduled visits from SQA External Verifiers to make sure that we are fulfilling SQA partnership quality assurance requirements.

Systems verification is the process by which SQA ensures centres are managing their systems and resources to meet SQA’s Quality Assurance Criteria. SQA provides specific guidance in relation to each quality assurance criterion for systems, which we need to make sure to follow accordingly otherwise sanctions will be imposed.

The Systems Verifiers will work from exactly the same guidance. There are other quality assurance criteria that only cover qualification verification. Qualification verification is the process by which SQA ensures that centres are assessing their candidates in line with national standards, and that assessment decisions comply with SQA’s Quality Assurance Criteria (the full criteria are available in the quality assurance section of the SQA website). We are obliged to SQA in providing documentary evidence against the quality criteria. For systems verification we need to provide evidence of the implementation of policies and procedures on an ongoing basis. We must ensure that ITPT is fully conversant with SQA guidance and policies and procedures align with this We are also a partner and an approved BCS authorised centre, where we currently accommodates ECDL students.

6 centre quality standards. We are subjected to system verification visits from BCS to make sure we are meeting BCS partnership quality assurance obligations.

Our Approach to the Quality:

We, at ITPT (IT Professional Training Ltd) appreciate the importance of Quality in every aspect of any organisation, that’s why we work hard to improve our organisation and the services we provide to our students, clients and personnel, we always try to ensure that they get the best quality possible with every service we deliver within our organisation e.g. customer service, in-house facilities, IT equipment, teaching methods, study materials, work environment, standard of staff we employ and so on and so forth.

Quality assurance is a way of preventing mistakes or defects in manufactured products and avoiding problems when delivering solutions or services to customers.

Because we believe there is room for improvement in everything, we tend to organise formal as well as informal meetings twice a month to discuss the organisation issues (if any), we gather and analyse evidence, evidence in the form of feedback forms, complaint forms, and mock exam results.

We believe in well documented & professional level organisational communication a good company should adopt most of the time. This will allow our designated SQA & other staff to communicate within the organisation and with SQA & others steadily and responsibly. It will also allow the system to work efficiently towards achieving targets and will also be beneficial to resolve if come across with any difficulty in the future.

Our main goal is to keep the process in understandable format, tidy, hassle free and easy to be obtained in the future if it is required. And this is why we have 2 to 3 dedicated staff in our administration system

who gives their best to omit any chances of error being occurred in first place.

• We believe in good quality which guarantees durability and service ability • Training for staff in performing their roles efficiently • Enhanced reputation in the business and social community • Generating good communication between staff and others • Review previous meetings minutes to overlook if anything missed out • Data Security • IT Security As we are mainly an IT Training centre, and as the word of Information Technology is growing and changing fast, we appreciate the importance of keeping up to speed with those changes, thus we always make sure that we are up to speed with the changes occurring by following very closely the rules and guidance of our partners.

ITPT LIBRARY

The ITPT library provides a model for enquiry learning and establishing knowledge and confidence in seeking and processing information. There is a large and growing body of evidence showing the impact of the library on our student achievements. Library reflects and encourages collaborative learning and sharing of ideas

ITPT library which has an exclusive collection of books to entertain our students so they can access to their relevant educational resources which can be used in gaining further knowledge. People with limited means may not be able to afford a computer with Internet access. Books are extremely expensive now a days and not easy to be afforded by all.

We have placed a moderate collection of our courses reference books and materials relevant to their studies, the major advantage is that students can have access to books without paying for them.

It is an elementary resource for supporting students’ learning, and a key support for teaching staff.

We have created Moodle to facilitate our students to do home learning. It helped us to create effective online teaching and learning experiences in an engaging environment that’s collaborative and completely private.

Moodle is a virtual learning environment (VLE) that allows ITPT to create courses online.

Content such as course materials, tutor power point slides, courses timetables and reading links, providing a constant and easily accessible reference for students to consult.

Our Moodle also offers a number of interactive tools, to get students engaging with course content and collaborating with their peers.

Links are added to any related course information including timetables, reading lists, web resources, videos, images, lecture slides and ITPT student policies.

There are numerous online resources at ITPT that Moodle can reference, including Course Book PDF’s , ITPT Bank of questions and past exam papers which is to help students when preparing for their final exams. which encourage the continuation of discussions outside the classrooms. Other features include quizzes, which strengthen students' learning, and glossaries to create a knowledge pool. This can also help students to judge their ability of understanding the topics delivered in the class.

ITPT E-Learning Platform

ITPT e learning was created by keeping in mind to equip with all the resources can be required by someone who can or cannot attend the classes regularly. Our purpose of e-learning therefore is to create convenient to our students to learn in their own pace Key Points: • Decreased Travelling time • Reduced cost

Quite simply, e-learning is electronic learning, and typically this means using a computer to deliver part, or all of a course whether it's in a training centre, part of any mandatory business training or a full distance learning course.

ITPT LABs & Practical Learning Environment ITPT - uniquely focuses on not only instructor-led theoretical knowledge but also supervised practical experience . Our courses incorporate intensive and extensive hands-on exercise to boost the theoretical knowledge of our students with an invaluable practical expertise which is our core precedence.

ITPT “Practical Laboratory” is a learning environment where students have the prospect of engaging in active learning and to exhibit, through hands-on activities, the understanding of the practical components of a specified d iscipline.

Our Practical Laboratory can be used to increase classroom learning, and provide additional opportunities for students to work through practical scenarios typical of their relevant disciplines.

We have three dedicated enormous networking labs and three is in progress specifically for CEH, CCNA Voice, Forensic/Cyber Security.

HIGHER NATIONAL CERTIFICATE & DIPLOMA IN COMPUTING Higher National Certificate (HNC) in computing has been developed to prepare individuals for a career in the IT industry. This course is also considered to be a gateway to the IT industry. During this course, learners will be able to gain an understanding of computer software, hardware and networking.

Unlike many degrees, these courses are vocationally focused and therefore can lead straight to a career.

Moreover, they're a great stepping stone to a higher qualification, as you can choose to 'top up' an HND or HNC with extra studies, in order to convert it to a bachelor's degree.

Our HNC and HND courses are a great option for someone who is looking for a work-related qualification that will advance your career, give you practical skills and can lead on to higher education.

Our HNC and HND courses are job-oriented, designed to equip students for employment in a range of professions and careers. They are highly valued by employers and can also count towards membership of professional bodies and other employer organisations. HNCs and HNDs are a mix of academic and hands-on practical and vocational learning that will develop the skills you need in the workplace.

You can also convert your HNC or HND to a bachelor's degree with extra study. Once you complete your course, HNCs can allow entry into the second year of a degree, while HNDs can allow entry into the second or third year.

Students who gain a good profile on the HND course can gain entry to third or fourth year of an undergraduate degree at universities that recognise SQA qualifications.

This qualification prepares learners for various fields in the IT sector such as Desktop Technician, IT Tech, Network Administrator, Server Administrator and many more. Once employed, one may prepare for a professional qualification.

what situation is a HNC & HND the most suitable choice for a Candidate?

The HNC & HND course is the most suitable choice for any candidate if you are a student who feels that you are not ready to undertake a degree. A HNC & HND can be an extremely effective way to prepare any candidate for a degree course at a later stage in your academic life, as it allows a candidate to gain confidence in their own abilities as well as gain experience and knowledge with their choice of study.
