Digital Skills
We offer two free qualifications as part of the government’s strategy to improve the digital skills of the adult population. It is estimated that 22% of adults do not have sufficient digital skills for everyday life and work. Available to both employed and unemployed, aged 19+, the new qualifications will help improve the employment prospects of individuals and may help them to support their children’s learning.
Each course is comprised of five units:
- Using Devices and Handling Data
- Creating and Editing
- Communicating
- Transacting
- Being Safe and Responsible Online
