Essential Digital Skills Framework

The Essential Digital Skills Framework defines the skills needed to safely benefit from, participate in, and contribute to the digital world of today and the future. The framework also includes a section on ‘foundation’ skills, which are typically required by those not currently using digital technology or using it in limited ways.

The course is split into 6 sections, each based on a key part of the framework. You can work through these at your own pace but please ensure you complete each course, including the quiz, before moving on to the next.
