If you choose to join this course you will be supported by our dedicated staff, learn in a small friendly and welcoming group, have the opportunity to take part in activities to practise your skills, be encouraged to continue to practise 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, 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 skills, joining one of our creative skills classes or sessions to improve your health, wellbeing, confidence or resilience. 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.

What do I need to provide for the first session?

There is nothing specific you need to bring, but you might find it helpful to bring a notebook and pen to take some notes. You are also welcome to bring your own devices to the session.

What could I do next?

Following this session, you could choose to come along to any of our other digital courses such as Using the Internet on Your Computer, Managing Apps on Your Smartphone or Tablet, or Connect with the World: A Guide to Communicating Using Your Smartphone and Tablet.
