Essential Digital Skills
Qualifications use the National Standards for Essential Digital Skills developed by the Department for Education and aimed at two levels:
Entry level - qualifications designed for adults with no or little prior experience of using digital devices or the internet.
Level 1 - qualifications designed for adults with some experience of using digital devices and the internet but lacking secure basic digital skills.
These qualifications have both knowledge and practical elements within the online learning and accompanying tests which support in building skills and confidence.
