About this course

Computer Course in Weymouth. Classes run at Weymouth Library and Learning Centre, Monday mornings over 5 weeks. No previous qualifications or experience are needed to join. You'll learn how to use a computer safely, search for information online, and create and format documents. The course covers starting and shutting down a system, using input and output devices, and presenting content for a purpose. It runs part-time during the day, making it manageable alongside other commitments. A concession fee of free applies to eligible learners; the full fee is £63.

Who this course is for

This is the follow-on course to our ICT for Beginners A course and is suitable for a wide range of learners. Learners do not need any particular qualifications or experience and our expectation is that everyone who applies for the course will be welcomed on it if there is sufficient space.

What you will learn

  • You'll start up and shut down a computer correctly.
  • You'll open and close software applications.
  • You'll use input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, and output devices such as a printer.
  • You'll follow safe practices when using a computer.
  • You'll search for information online using appropriate techniques.
  • You'll select and use information for a set purpose.
  • You'll enter and format text in a document.
  • You'll insert and position images to present information clearly.

How you will learn

Classes are held in a computer room at Weymouth Library and Learning Centre. Each session runs for 3 hours. You'll learn through hands-on practice with ICT systems, guided tasks, and producing work for a defined purpose. Assessment is based on the work you complete during the course.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Weymouth Library and Learning Centre will confirm anything else you need before you start.

What you could study next

After this entry level computer course, you could move on to a Level 1 IT or Digital Skills qualification to build on what you've learned. From there, a Level 2 qualification in IT or Business Administration would open up more job roles and further study. If you're working toward employment more broadly, a Level 1 Award in Employability Skills is a natural next step.
