This course is ideal for learners who want to develop and extend their digital skills and build their knowledge and understanding of core areas of the digital sector.

During the course, learners will develop the skills and knowledge to effectively use software tools and techniques to create and work with a range of applications including databases, spreadsheets, presentations and word processing.

Learners will also gain an understanding of the importance of digital skills in the workplace and the characteristics valued by employers, as well as identify career progression goals and plan how they will develop their skills to meet these goals.
