TickITplus Training Gains Momentum As Start of 3-Year Transition Period Looms

/EINPresswire.com/ The TickITplus Scheme continues to build momentum. A growing number of people are completing Foundation training and, during the summer of 2011, LRQA was officially accredited by gasq to deliver TickITplus Foundation training. That means that there are now three official ATPs, two in the UK and one in Sweden, all delivering this important initial training course.

The three organisations currently accredited by gasq to deliver TickITplus Foundation training are:

IT Governance (www.itgovernance.co.uk)
LRQA Training (www.lrqa.co.uk)
Quality IT AB (www.itqnord.se)

The ATP's have reported a strong interest in the TickITplus scheme and delegates on the courses have included managers from organisations who are compliant to existing TickIT scheme and auditors from the accredited TickITplus certification bodies.

Foundation training has been designed for practitioners and assessors as a critical first step for any organisation that is planning to prepare itself for TickITplus certification.
