IT Skills

Our ABC IT course, which is equivalent in scope to ECDL and ICDL, covers the basics of working with computers: from hardware, to using productivity software and surfing the web.

We also host Microsoft’s Digital Literacy curriculum for free open access. This covers basic computer concepts and skills so that you can use computer technology day in, day out to develop more social and economic opportunities for you, your family, and community.

All our IT courses offer learning and certification opportunities.

Health and Safety and Compliance

We have published several free online courses on Health and Safety, including Workstation Ergonomics (DSE), Managing Health and Safety in Schools, Back Safety and Behaviour-Based Safety. You can complete these courses and obtain certification, so you and your colleagues know you have completed safety training.
