Our Digital Skills courses are for people who want to build confidence using computers, phones and online tools for everyday life, work or further study. We also support learners who want to move into more advanced areas such as creative media, data, AI or professional IT.
Digital Skills Information, Advice and Guidance will help you get started on the right learning programme.
You will meet our teachers, talk about your goals, and receive clear guidance on the best next steps.
In this session you will meet one of our Digital Skills teachers to talk through:

• What you would like to be able to do
