Get online with Key Digital Skill Sessions
Using computers, phones or tablets for everyday life can be a challenge! Come and join us at libraries in Derby for friendly, expert support and guidance to get you online.
About the sessions
We offer a wide range of topics for you to choose from, whether it’s learning the basics of using a computer or touchscreen device to online banking, staying safe online or registering with a GP.
Are these sessions for me?
More and more essential services are going online. Do you you lack confidence using digital devices and the Internet? Do you have a need to go online to access services but don’t know how? Do you just feel you’re getting left behind? If so, then our sessions can help you.
What will I learn?
Simply choose the topic that meets your need and book a session at one of our libraries.
You can keep coming back each week until you feel confident, and then if you wish, move on to another topic.
If you wish to explore your topic further once you complete a session, we can point you to trusted follow-on learning resources.
Topics include:
- Using a mouse and keyboard
- Getting an Email and cloud storage account
- Using a touchscreen device (bring your own device)
- Using the Internet
- Using Email
- Online safety
- Staying in touch with friends and family
- Microsoft Office basics
- Online job search
- Online banking
- Online shopping
- Managing your health online
How are the sessions run?
We offer a friendly, informal learning approach. You get to set your own pace and you can keep coming back for as long as you need.
The sessions are run by library staff or volunteers during library opening hours and last around 1.5 hours. There will be a maximum of three people in a group, learning in a supportive and relaxed atmosphere.
How do I book a place?
All you need to do is to ask at your local Derby library. The staff will be able to tell you if the course is the right level for you and how to book a place.
The only thing we ask is that you are a library member.
