Digital Functional Skills - Level 1

The Level 1 Digital Functional Skills course is designed to equip you with essential digital skills for everyday life, work, and further study.

This course covers fundamental concepts in using digital devices, managing information, and communicating effectively online.

You will develop practical skills such as navigating the internet safely, utilising productivity software (such as word processors and spreadsheets), and understanding the basics of data security and online privacy.

Please be prepared to provide your residency documents such as a passport, EU citizen ID card, UK Birth Certificate or Biometric Card. If you have been in the UK for less than 3 years or have entered the UK with a visa you will need to provide evidence that you are eligible to study in the UK - your visa, your biometric card that covers the duration of your course or any relevant home office documents to support your residency should all be provided. If you’re an EU, EEA or Swiss citizen we will need to see evidence of 'Pre-Settled' or 'Settled-status' documents. Also for funding purposes we would need to see evidence of payslips if working (within the last 3 months). If you are receiving benefits (e.g JSA, ESA, Universal Credit (UC), Housing benefits etc. please provide evidence of this).

Through hands-on activities and real-world scenarios, students will gain confidence in digital problem-solving, online collaboration, and applying digital tools in personal and professional contexts. This course is ideal for individuals looking to improve their digital literacy to enhance their career prospects or pursue further education.

Upon successful completion of the course you can progress into further study in this area.
