Achieve your digital goals (06G23CL/22)

What are you doing to keep learners safe?

The safety of our learners and staff is our top priority and we’ve made some big changes to our centres, from socially-distanced training rooms to staggered start times. If you choose to attend one of our classrooms in a centre then things will look different, but our staff will be as friendly and helpful as ever and are really excited to welcome learners back. Of course, if you choose to attend our virtual classroom from home, then that is fine too. Our staff and tutors have been really busy over the last few months ensuring that we can provide you will the same quality of teaching and learning virtually as we do in the classroom.

If you’re concerned about visiting one of our centres, please get in touch so we can discuss it with you.

What will I learn?

You’ll work towards your own learning goals and improve the aspects of Digital Skills that are stopping you doing the things you want to do. This might be improving your knowledge of tools in software applications, researching on the internet, recognising device options, organising files and folders, improving confidence when using online links or something different that you want to focus on.

What is it like to learn with East Riding Adult Learning and Employability?

At East Riding Adult Learning and Employability we pride ourselves on the support we give to our learners, from the very time you contact us, to the day you achieve your goals.

If you choose to ‘achieve’ with us you will be supported by our dedicated staff, learn in small friendly and welcoming groups, have the opportunity to take part in activities to practice your skills, be encouraged to continue to practice when you are away from the classroom and receive lots of encouragement to help you build both your skills and your confidence.

As well as working in groups, you will benefit from regular time working with your tutor and/or learning support assistant, discussing your progress and planning your next steps. They will also tell you about all of the other great opportunities that you have access to including help with developing your maths or digital skills, joining one of our creative skills classes or sessions to improve your health, wellbeing, confidence or resilience or, if you are looking for work or aiming for a change of role, then your tutor will also make you aware of the employability programmes we have available to support you in achieving your employment goals.

Our team will be there to support you at every step of your journey and we always welcome your feedback to help us ensure that you feel safe, happy, supported and welcome.
