Digital Skills
Engaging with information and services online can be an incredibly convenient, time-saving way to do many essential day-to-day tasks. However, we understand that not everyone feels confident or has the skills to do all the things they might like to do online. As a council, we currently operate six Digital Hubs across the district to support people to develop their digital skills, which are free and open to anyone who may need some support. Visit our Digital hubs webpage to find out more.
If you are looking to increase your digital skills from the comfort of your own home, please refer to the links below to find information and advice, as well as online modules and training no matter your current level of digital skill.
