Digital skills training


We run a number of digital skills training sessions each term.
Our digital skills training sessions are open to all members of the University.

To book onto a session, follow its link below (you'll need to log in to the booking system). If a session you're interested in is full, sign up onto the waiting list - if we have enough interest in a session we may repeat it. You'll also find copies of our slides throughout the Skills Guides.

Next digital skills sessions:


Note - What with one thing and another, the following sessions will be taking place online. In some cases this delivery will be in the form of self-directed packages such as slide decks and workbooks; in other cases there may be video delivery at the specified time. If you sign up to an event we'll be able to contact you with the relevant details for that session.
