The T2K (Tokai-to-Kamioka) experiment is a long-baseline neutrino oscillation experiment, currently operating in Japan, aiming at measuring the {theta}{sub 13} mixing angle. It uses an intense off-axis beam of mainly muon neutrinos incident on the Super-Kamiokande detector. The off-axis near detector complex, ND280, can be used to perform charge current quasi-elastic (CCQE) measurements, that define the flux normalization and predict the unoscillated spectrum. The strategy for studying {nu}{sub {mu}} CCQE interactions in the ND280 detector is described, together with the first inclusive charge current results from the first period of T2K operation.
