Essential Digital Skills Qualification (EDSQ) (23/24)
Course Overview
The Essential Digital Skills Qualification (EDSQ) is a nationally recognised qualification that has been created for adults who need to develop their digital skills to allow them to develop the confidence and skills needed to take part fully in life and work in our evolving digital landscape.
Based on the National Digital Standards, these qualifications have been designed to support adults in five essential digital skills:
Communicating
Handling Information and content
Transacting (shopping online)
Problem Solving
Being safe and legal online
The EDSQ is a 9-week course running on various days in either our Twerton Centre, City Centre or Somer Valley campus. Before you enrol onto the EDSQ, you will need to take part in one of our short taster sessions. This will allow us to assess your existing IT skills and therefore be able to place you into a class with learners who are of an equal ability to you and therefore will learn at the same pace.
