Course introduction

Community courses are “first steps” for adults to learn new skills, develop confidence, meet others in welcoming classroom. The purpose of courses is to support students into further learning or employment (paid or voluntary).

This course is perfect if you are interested in developing your existing knowledge and experience with IT and gaining confidence in yourself and your skills

You will learn about the Microsoft Office package, using emails, staying safe online and will explore the opportunities afforded to you through IT skills development.

You can expect a: 

  • Friendly, positive and safe environment to learn and develop confidence
  • Tutor who wants you to succeed and will support you weekly in skills development and guidance towards further progression

You should attend regularly and arrive on time to make best progress on course

You will complete a short diary weekly in class time, to record your progress and receive written tutor feedback.

You will use Microsoft Teams whilst on the course. Microsoft Teams is a free, safe online app used by Nottingham College for tutors to contact students.

Using Teams will also enable you to develop and feel confident using digital skills.
