The Skills Toolkit

The Department for Education signposts people to free courses that can develop their digital and numeracy skills. The free courses are listed from the various organisations that created them over the past few years, from beginners' computer courses to more specialised courses in coding, digital marketing, and Microsoft Office. There is also a course to brush up on your maths skills.
