Technology changes quickly. Do you feel like you’re being left behind? If you need to update your computing skills, this short course is a great place to start!

Set yourself up for success by getting some key computing and technology skills needed in today’s workplaces.

The Digital Workspace Essentials course will take you through using a computer and other digital devices. You learn about the common software used in workplaces to create written documents, spreadsheets and presentations. You will also learn how work with files and folders, as well as basic cloud-based computing, including storage.

Build your computing confidence and understand how to use a range of communication tools, such as email and video conferencing. The course will also cover tools which allow people to work together online. Tools like these are used in many workplaces and are used by employees who work away from the office.

This entry-level course is ideal if you are new to the workplace, changing career or if you want to refresh your computing skills. It would also be useful for people who would like to complete further education, or those that may have been out of the workforce for a while.

More information on the recognition process is available on our recognition of prior learning and skills page.
