An accredited programme designed to equip people of all ages and backgrounds with essential digital skills, empowering them to thrive in today’s fast-paced and ever-evolving world.
Our accredited ‘Digital Citizenship’ programme shifts mindsets around using technology in today’s digital landscape by promoting respectful and responsible online behaviour. Through practical and accessible group learning sessions, we empower participants to improve their digital competencies, inspiring them to expand their opportunities and confidently participate in our technology-driven culture.
Delivered over four 3-hour-long sessions, our programme equips learners with basic digital literacy skills. Topics include (but are not limited to) safe internet browsing, creating and managing email accounts, identifying online scams and threats, social media usage, and basic hardware maintenance. Alongside acquiring these skills, learners will actively apply their knowledge to real-world scenarios during sessions, reinforcing newly acquired skills through practical activities.

“The course has helped me well and I have now been able to build on my confidence with going online. The most important thing that I have learnt from the course is learning more about windows 10 and I learnt about Team meetings. I understood the course very well.”
