Adult learners using computers in a digital skills class

Digital skills for today’s world – at every level.

From your first steps online to a career in tech. Accredited.
Free for eligible learners at foundation level.

Why digital skills matter

Digital skills are now essential for almost every job, every form, and every service. If you’re not confident online, it holds you back at work, at home, and in daily life.

At Learning for Change, digital skills are one of our two core subjects – equal to English, not an optional extra. We offer Accredited courses from complete beginner to Level 4 career pathways, and we combine digital with English because the two together produce stronger employment outcomes than either alone.
