Our free training tagged ‘Digital Capability Training’ covers the basic digital skills needed to carry out everyday activities such as downloading applications, internet surfing, getting to grips with digital device settings, online shopping, online banking, and subscribing to services online. We cover all the essential must-have IT skills people need to be equipped with to help them progress in the digital arena. We have supported over 500 learners since our inception in 2019 and aim to continue reaching out to digitally disadvantaged people.
