Awarding organisations are responsible for mapping qualifications they would like to appear on this list against the NOS for IT Users.
Contributing units and qualifications must have been completed within 3 years of ITQ registration. Completed units from the old NVQ for IT Users (ITQ) can still be used towards the ITQ, but no new registrations are being accepted for these units. Centres must ensure that a representative sample of certificated skills and knowledge are still current.
