UK Online

Want to gain the skills and confidence to start using computers and get online?  We work in close partnership with UK Online to train people of all ages and backgrounds to learn more about using computers and the internet with confidence.

Our range of courses are designed to help improved the lives of individuals, strengthen communities and achieve social inclusion.

Using a computer and the internet is easier than you think!  You’ll find out how to use a mouse and keyboard, send an email or even do your shopping online.

Our courses run every day at our centre based within Coventry Central Library and weekly sessions also take place at Whitefriars Housing in Little Park Street.  Please telephone 024 76 520420 to make an appointment. 

ALL SESSIONS ARE FREE OF CHARGE TO ALL. 

Information, Advice & Guidance for UK Online learners

As a UK online centre our remit is to engage socially and digitally excluded people and to give them the skills and confidence to use ICT effectively to improve their lives.   When you enquire with us we will talk to you about the following;

• How you heard about us?
• What was the main reason for wanting to get online and use computers?
• An awareness of how the sessions are delivered.
• The number of hours needed to complete the sessions.
• The mode of delivery (i.e. online)

We guarantee to support you every step of the way.  You will never be left just to work something out by yourself, however, we do encourage you have a go and not be frightened of using the computer.  With computers and the internet, the best way to become more confident is to practise.  You will be given your own username and password on a card to keep and you can access your GO ON learning from anywhere that has internet access. 

Once you have completed your sessions and having gained some new skills and confidence it is important that we encourage and facilitate individual progression into further learning.

This may be done by discussing with you the following options:

1. Referral directly to learndirect staff (within our centre)
2. Referral to the Careers advice website and freephone service
3. Referral to the nearest Nextstep Provider.

If you do not wish to move into further learning, this is fine.  However, please make sure that you try and practise your new skills.  You can use computer and internet facilities at all local libraries throughout Coventry.
