Do I need prior knowledge or experience?
See the main course listing above for information regarding prior knowledge. The college retains the right to withdraw a student from a course if their prior skills are not sufficient to undertake a course.

How will I learn?
This is a tutor led, classroom based course with practical learning on your own smartphone. As all smartphones are different the information provided will be generic and you will be required to take notes that relate to your own phone model. Time will be given at the end of each lesson to do this.

How will my progress be assessed?
Your progress will be assessed by your tutor throughout the course and there will be plenty of opportunity to get feedback.

Is there an external qualification?
No, this is not a qualification course and there will be no certificate upon completion.

Smartphones 1 - Master the Basics
Smartphones 2 - Practical Know How.

Having finished the courses above you may wish to undertake the remaining courses in the programme that focus on learning everyday digital skills using a computer.

Computing step 3 - Productivity Essentials

What do I need to bring?

Are there any extra costs?
No. Digital Skills courses are free to all when taken the first time. If you wish to repeat a course, there may be a charge.

Is there work between sessions?
Your tutor may set you practice between sessions to help build your retention and skills, and those students who engage in learning between sessions generally experience greater success.
