This course is for people who want to learn how to use QBC (the Quick Benefits Calculator) effectively and confidently.

Course content

  • Understanding screens, controls, menus and how to get in-calculator help

  • Best practice when entering information

  • Universal credit calculations

  • ‘What if’ calculations

  • Saving, sending and changing cases

  • An overview of advanced features

This standard level course is suitable for advisers who already have a good understanding of universal credit. You do not need to have had experience of using QBC, though participants should have a licenced copy of the most recent QBC calculator (as at the date of the course) already installed on their computer to allow them to carry out calculations during the course.

This course will be delivered online via Zoom from 10am to 1pm each day with a half hour break from 11.15 – 11.45.

Participants will receive an email link, a few days before the start of the course, to allow access to the event and instructions on how to use QBC during a zoom meeting.

A Wi-Fi connection and a computer will be needed to take part in the course. It will not be possible to join this course using a mobile phone or tablet.
