Book online Digital Foundations lessons

Digital Foundations builds the core computer and internet skills that every modern job, school and course now assumes you already have. It replaces guesswork and hesitation with real, everyday confidence using technology. What you'll learn: You'll get comfortable operating a computer efficiently — the desktop, windows, keyboard shortcuts and settings — and organising files and folders so nothing gets lost. You'll master cloud storage such as Google Drive or OneDrive for backing up and sharing, and learn professional email and messaging etiquette. You'll build practical documents in a word processor (letters, CVs, reports), create spreadsheets that calculate automatically, and put together clean presentations. You'll research effectively online, judge whether a source is trustworthy, and stay safe: strong passwords, two-factor authentication, spotting scams and phishing, and protecting personal information. You'll finish able to pick up any new app or tool on your own. Tools & technologies: Windows/Mac basics, Google Workspace and/or Microsoft Office (Docs/Word, Sheets/Excel, Slides/PowerPoint), Gmail/Outlook, cloud storage, and a web browser used well. Real-life scenarios: • Organise a home or small business's files and back them up to the cloud so nothing is ever lost. • Write a clean CV and cover letter, then apply for jobs and fill in forms online. • Build a monthly budget in a spreadsheet that adds up income and expenses automatically. • Prepare and deliver a confident presentation for school or work. • Spot a scam email or fake link before it does harm, and secure your accounts. • Set up and manage the everyday online tools a small business needs to run. Career paths: The essential base for any office, admin, customer-service or remote role — and the launch pad for every other digital skill on this list. Who it's for: Complete beginners, older learners, career switchers, and anyone who wants to stop feeling stuck or left behind when technology is involved.
