Whether you are entirely new to computing or have some  experience, the Microsoft Digital Literacy curriculum will help you develop a fundamental understanding of computers.  From using the Internet, to sending e-mail, to creating a C.V., the Digital Literacy course helps you develop the essential skills you need to begin computing with confidence.  The   Microsoft Digital Literacy Curriculum consists of five online courses:

· Computer Basics

· The Internet and World Wide Web

· Productivity Programs (eg Word Processing)

· Computer Security and Privacy

· Digital Lifestyles (eg photos & music)

Each course has an e-learning module and an assessment.  You can also take the Certificate Test, which covers topics from all five courses.  If you pass the Certificate Test, you can print out a personalised Digital Literacy Certificate.

The Microsoft online resources can be accessed via the  Internet, in addition to the classroom sessions, allowing self-paced learning and revision between classes.

Sessions will be held in our Microsoft Academy, led by an  experienced ICT Trainer.
