Free courses for Council Tenants and Volunteers

Digital skills learning courses

We run FREE training courses for our residents and community volunteers. Most of the courses are accredited so help provide the necessary qualifications to gain employment or volunteering opportunities and to build confidence.

Here is some positive feedback from attendees at previous courses:

The course was very useful for my volunteer role at a Playgroup at a local drop-in. It was very hands-on and the tutor made the session fun and interesting. Thanks so much.
The tutor was relaxed and professional. Used humour to lighten the subject appropriately. I enjoyed the course.
The tutor was absolutely fabulous in his delivery of the course. He was very approachable, kept me very interested and attentive, and ensured we had all taken in and understood the topic.
