New homeworker IT qualification

Accoring to James Murray from IT Week, a new IT certification scheme should benefit homeworkers. The scheme aims to "validate the skills of IT professionals and technicians that install and manage digital home and home office technologies". i.e. so that homeworkers would know they wouldn't be dealing with cowboys. According to Murray, the course would be taught across the UK and the exam would cover a variety of subjects such as networking, audio/video, telephony/VoIP, and security. It would also benefit IT professionals looking after remote workers.
