Spearhead Academy has been established as a joint venture between Training Synergy and BroadSkill, two of the UK's largest trainer resource providers. The aim of the academy is to provide an innovative three-week training programme which will develop candidates into qualified IT training consultants in order to address a recognised shortage of skilled IT end user trainers in the industry currently.

Our scheme is accredited by the British Computer Society and guides delegates toward European Computer Driving Licence (ECDL) accreditation and the new ITQ Level 3 qualification.

The first part of this intensive three-week course will equip you with the skills required to deliver effective IT end user training, covering course design and delivery, learning styles and lesson planning. Throughout the course you will be encouraged to practice your newly developed skills by delivering several 'mini-teach' sessions, the content of which will contribute to the work-based evidence tasks required to achieve ITQ qualification later in the course.

Delegates are then coached through the ECDL syllabus with online testing and will also achieve ITQ Level 2 qualification on completion of the three-week programme. Before leaving the course students will develop a plan to help them achieve ITQ Level 3 qualification and are offered coaching and support by our tutors to help them reach this goal.

Finally, all successful candidates are supported and guided in how to start their own sustainable training business and given an opportunity to work on a major IT training project with a leading global IT company.

Spearhead Academy is a registered learning provider of the Enhanced Learning Credits (ELC) scheme.
