- How to develop a positive digital identity
- Popular digital skills required by employers
How long will the programme last for?
The Digital Skills Programme will be delivered during Semester 1 and 2. You’ll spend no more than 2 hours per week during term time engaging with this programme, which can be completed in around 30 hours.
How can I access the programme?
You’ll be able to access the programme, once you’ve log into KEATS.
