<p>Learners do need any academic qualifications or work experience to do this course and we expect that everyone who applies will be welcomed on the course if there is enough space. </p>

<p>This course does not result in a qualification and therefore there is no coursework or exam. The tutor will talk to each learner and give them tips to improve their tablet and smartphone usage as we go along. </p>

<p>This course is for anyone who wants to learn how to use their tablet or smartphone better. </p>

<p>Learners will need to bring their own Android tablet or smartphone to sessions as these are not provided. Learners need to come along with their username and password for their device as these will be required to make changes to the set up of learners’ devices. We obviously do not know learners’ log-on details and so learners who don’t bring these along will not be able to fully participate in sessions. </p>

<p>Our ICT for Beginners A course is the obvious next step for those aiming to improve their digital skills. </p><p>Need support planning your next steps?
