What does an IT trainer do?
IT trainers deliver courses ranging from commonly used programs, such as word processing and spreadsheets, to technical areas such as programming or PC maintenance. If employed within a company, IT trainers may provide in-house training, for example teaching accounts staff how to use a new payroll system.
In all cases, this role will:
assess training needs and agree learning aims
design new training programmes or adapt existing ones
make training materials
manage the roll-out of new projects
prepare the training room and resources
deliver training programmes
judge how useful the training is
give constructive feedback to learners and management
make ongoing improvements
keep records up-to-date
A lot of training is available online, so the role is likely to involve designing e-learning materials to support learners in a virtual learning environment.
What do I need to do to become an IT trainer?
You can become an IT trainer in several ways. You can work as an IT professional and learn skills through your job experience, then qualify as a trainer or teacher of IT. Or you can start as a general trainer and then specialise in IT skills. You’ll need an advanced IT qualification, plus qualifications in training or teaching.
Several IT qualifications cover the major desktop programs and uses of a computer, including:
Level 2 Certificate for IT Users
Level 2 ECDL Certificate in IT User Skills
Level 3 ECDL Award in IT User Skills
Level 3 Certificate/Diploma in IT User Skills
Microsoft Office Specialist certification
These are available at local further education colleges and training providers. You can also gain similar qualifications whilst on an IT apprenticeship.
To qualify as a training officer, you can take one of the following:
Level 3 Award in Delivering Training
Level 3 Award in Education and Training
Level 3 Award in Learning and Development Essentials
Level 3 Certificate/Diploma in Learning and Development Practice
If you’re interested in teaching people with disabilities to use IT, there’s advice about adapting materials and ‘assistive technologies’ on the AbilityNet website. You may be able to do voluntary work in this area, which will give you some teaching experience.
To work with vulnerable people and under-18s, you’ll need to have background checks by the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS).
