Course Overview

Our Digital Skills programme has been developed to give individuals all of the necessary skills to carry out day to day online tasks for personal life as well as learn the digital skills expected by employers.
You may have completed a basic IT course before and you already know how to do the basics on a computer however this course is aimed at giving you all of the necessary skills to work efficiently, effectively on line and more importantly to be safe e.g. responding to requests for authentication on an online account and email, recognising suspicious links in emails, websites and social media.
You will also learn how to use the internet to solve problems e.g. find specific information related to Life tasks—booking an online appointment with your Doctor, find a recipe, book travel.
In Transacting you will learn how to complete forms online, set up online accounts using websites or Apps and you will learn how to buy or sell goods safely online. This could be your weekly grocery shop or simply selling something you no longer need on an appropriate site.
You will also be able to socialize with others either in the classroom or on our virtual platform, who are also learning about Digital Skills and share your experiences of good and bad service.
Together we can make your learning journey enjoyable.
