This digital skills course will help you develop skills in using computers, phones and tablets as well as help you with your smart home devices.

It is a course designed to work at a pace the whole group is comfortable with and focus on the skills you want to develop. The skills we cover will be decided by the group of learners who participate in the class. We can adapt the course as we go along.

What you will learn in this class will support you to make the most of your devices and engage more with online activities, whether those are with friends, family, work, college or uni. From online security, passwords, web searching, banking, shopping, learning, managing photos, managing files.

Learning on your own device can be a much more effective way to develop these skills, so feel free to bring the device you want to learn on with you to the class. We have WiFi available at these sessions.
