Introduction

London Graduate School of Managementis proud to announce that its associate college, Millennium City Academy is the first centre to be approved to offer the new Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Applications of ICT in Libraries (ICTL).

These qualifications are based on the training already carried out during the People's Network programme.

They have been developed by the Scottish Library and Information Council (SLIC) and are accredited by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA).

The level of the qualifications is roughly equivalent to HNC/HND or years 1 and 2 of a degree. Credit may be transferable to other academic programmes.

The Museums, Libraries and Archives Council (MLA), SLIC, CyMAL (the Welsh body) and DCAL (the Northern Ireland department) supported the development of the qualifications for use throughout the UK. SQA is currently exploring accreditation with the QCA (Qualifications & Curriculum Authority) and articulation into higher education.

The qualifications have been reviewed by content advisers from across the UK in order to balance any variation in the context of library service delivery and the learning materials contain UK-wide examples of best practice.
