Not everyone grew up with technology. Not everyone has had the chance to learn properly. That does not mean you’re behind — it means you haven’t had the right support yet.
Our Essential Digital Skills courses are designed for people at the beginning of their digital journey — or for anyone who wants to fill in gaps, build confidence, or simply get more comfortable with the technology they use every day.
There is no test. No prior experience required. Just a willingness to try.
