Our digital literacy courses are organized into two streams: the Beginner Program, for those who are pretty new to computers and using the internet, and the Intermediate Program, for those with some pre-existing knowledge.
The courses are designed to build on each other, so you can take them in order – or just choose the ones that interest you. There are no pre-requisites to any of the courses, no cost to complete them, and they are all 30 minutes or less.
