Who this course is for

Our Essential Digital Skills course are designed for those who want to enhance their digital skills, who may have a smart phone but are not quite sure how on its capabilities, or have used a laptop for some time but are unsure on how to do more complex tasks.

Entry requirements

Applicants must be at either Entry 2 - Level 1 to enrol onto the Entry 3 or Level 1 course. If assessed at below Entry 2, applicants can be referred to basic computing skills (PCDL).

What you will learn

  • You'll use devices and software to complete everyday tasks.
  • You'll communicate online using email and messaging tools.
  • You'll find, manage and store information safely on the internet.
  • You'll handle digital documents, including creating and editing files.
  • You'll stay safe online and understand basic digital security.
  • You'll use online services relevant to daily life and work.

How you will learn

You'll learn in a classroom at Middlesbrough Community Learning Service. Teaching is hands-on, with practical tasks on computers. Assessment is through set tasks that test what you can do, not written exams. You'll be assessed on your ability to complete real digital activities across the units covered on the course.

What you will need to bring

The centre will provide most materials. Middlesbrough Community Learning Service will confirm anything else you need before you start.
