This two-day course is ideal for anyone looking to practise and strengthen different aspects of their IT skills. To join this course, you should have previously attended either Computer Confidence – Essential Skills or Building on the Basics, or have a reasonable level of basic computer knowledge.

All learners will develop their file-management skills by using File Explorer to navigate the system, create organised folder structures, and move or delete files and folders. You will also learn how to use the Snipping Tool to capture screen prints as evidence of your work.

The remainder of the course is flexible, giving you the option to choose from a range of scenario-based IT tasks or focus on personal skill areas you’d like to develop. You’ll work independently at your own pace, with tutor support available whenever you need it.

You can choose from areas such as:

  • Learn how to touch type effectively or practice your typing speed
  • Use a search engine to carry out internet searches
  • Use an email account to send emails, attachments, schedule appointments or meetings and invite attendees
  • Create a poster or advert applying formatting and then proof-reading your documents
  • Creating a letter and a mailing list to carry out a mail merge
  • Producing a presentation to promote a product or service
  • Setting up, amending a spreadsheet, applying formatting and creating formulae and functions
  • Opportunities to focus on developing other IT skills of your choice

This course will give you self-confidence working on a computer independently or help you feel more confident facing an IT based assessment at interview.
