Throughout our years at school there are always subjects that seem to carry more importance than others, and no matter what path of study we intend to go down, or what our ambitions are in life, Maths and English are always highlighted as a necessity. As we move on, they never lose their value as ‘essential skills’.
Now, computer skills are just as prevalent. They hold the power to enhance and amplify our qualifications, or leave a gaping hole in our CV. Outside of education and the working world they are just as important. Computers are part of everything we do.
Do you want to improve your reading, writing, maths or ICT skills, or know someone who needs help with these essential skills? If you are over the age of 16 an Essential Skills course may help you to get on at home, work or in life.
