ICT

Virtually everything we do involves computers and ICTs – from booking tickets online and emailing friends, to paying by credit card and using household appliances.  At the heart of ICTs are computers – ranging from the small embedded processor in your mobile phone, to the personal computer you use at home or work, and the large servers that support e-commerce and the world-wide web. In today’s world it really is difficult not to use some form of ICT so having ICT skills has become essential for everyday life and work.

Whether you simply want to learn more about using computers to shop on-line, help the children with their homework or gain skills to improve your employment prospects, Footprints offers a number of short ICT courses to meet your needs. These include ECDL, Text Production, Digital Photography, Beginners ICT and Essential Skills ICT.

Where to start in Computing and ICT

If you have never used a computer before and think a mouse is a small rodent then you need to start with a basic beginner’s course.

If you have some experience using a computer then you could undertake a level 1 course or higher depending on your current skills and confidence.  If you need help considering options you can talk to a member of the Training & Education Team.
