About this course

Entry Level 2 Employability Skills Course in Dorchester. Classes run at Dorchester Library and Learning Centre, part-time on Monday mornings over 7 weeks. The course covers basic ICT skills, internet searches, and completing job application forms online. It suits anyone with little or no previous computer experience. Concessions are available, so the full fee may not apply to you. This entry level employability skills qualification is awarded by City and Guilds.

Who this course is for

This course is suitable for everyone. Do not worry if you have no previous experience of ICT as everyone else on the course will be in the same boat.�

What you will learn

  • You'll identify the main parts of a computer system and how to use hardware
  • You'll use software applications for everyday tasks
  • You'll carry out internet searches to find information
  • You'll complete online forms, including job application forms
  • You'll develop the digital skills needed to apply for work

How you will learn

You'll attend seven weekly classroom sessions, each three hours long, at Dorchester Library and Learning Centre. Learning is hands-on throughout. You'll complete three units covering hardware, software, and online tasks. Assessment is based on the work you produce during the course rather than a formal exam.

What you will need to bring

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

Where next

Jobs you could do

  • Administrator assistant - uses basic IT and form-filling daily
  • Receptionist - needs confident computer and internet skills
  • Retail assistant - stock and ordering systems are computer-based
  • Customer service advisor - handles digital queries and online records
  • Warehouse operative - many roles now use digital stock systems
  • Care assistant - digital record-keeping is increasingly standard

What you could study next

Once you have your entry level employability skills certificate, you could move on to a Level 1 or Level 2 Functional Skills ICT or Digital Skills qualification. These are recognised by employers and colleges and build directly on what you learn here. A Level 2 Digital Skills Qualification or Functional Skills ICT Level 2 would strengthen your CV further and open doors to a wider range of roles.
