About our IT courses:
Do you want to develop your IT skills? We all need basic IT skills for everyday life, education and employment – EMBS can help you develop the IT skills you need.
We run small, friendly IT classes for all levels of students, from complete beginners to more experienced users. Your tutor will conduct an initial diagnostic with you at the start of your course and will give you clear targets to support you to work towards appropriate level qualifications.
At beginner level, you will learn how to email, use simple search facilities, create documents in Word, add images to documents, edit and format documents and save, store and retrieve data and documents. You will achieve an Entry level Functional Skills qualification.
At intermediate level you will focus on computer basics: working with data, tables, using the internet, communication in IT, managing files on various platforms, formulae and functions, charts and graphs, working with spreadsheets and databases, sorting and editing images and health, safety and security around using computers. You will achieve an Entry 3 Digital Skills or Level 2 ITQ/ECDL qualification.
