Essential Digital Skills - Get To Know Digital Devices (Computers, Smart Phones, Tablets)

This course is part of our non-accredited Essential Digitals Skills offer, designed to support you build confidence and develop the skills and knowledge needed to become a competent user in the modern digital world.
As part of the programmes, we are offering 4 courses scheduled in a chronological order to support you to progress gradually and systematically:

*Essential Digital Skills – Get to Know Digital Devices

*Essential Digital Skills – Emails and Other Digital Communications

*Essential Digital Skills – Digital Transactions (Banking, Online Shopping, Online Forms)

You may also choose to only study on one of the above courses to learn about things that you feel least confident about. For example, you might feel that you know all about digital devices, the Internet and digital transactions, but you would like to learn more about emails. You will then enrol on our Essential Digital Skills – Emails and Other Digital Communications Course, for example.
