Employability Skills - IT

Bring your computer and IT skills up to speed and improve your job prospects with our free training and IT qualifications.

• Free IT training *
• Leads to Level 1 or 2 qualifications
• Flexible learning, day or evening
• Enrol any time
• Stroud or Dursley training centres

These free courses are open to anyone who is unemployed and receiving either Job Seekers or Employment Support Allowance.

Each course (or unit) takes around ten weeks to complete, and can lead towards a full qualification at either level 1 or level 2. You can choose from a range of subjects, such as email, powerpoint, word, spreadsheets, using the internet and creating websites. Training is led by experienced tutors at both our Stroud and Dursley Centres.

When you apply, you will be asked to attend a free introductory session so that we can explain how the centre works, and help you choose the course that best suits your skills and needs.

Here's what some of our students say!

"I wouldn't hesitate to do another course - the staff are extremely helpful"

"It was great being able to work at my own pace and get to grips with the software"

"The most valuable aspect of this course was the quality of the learning materials and the support of the staff; the least valuable aspect of this course was that it ended! I can't wait to come back and do another course."

"I've done something I thought I could never do! I think the trainers are brilliant and very helpful."

*  To qualify for free training, you must be unemployed and receiving Job Seekers or Employment Support Allowance
