Working with the Skills Network, the project has been able to arrange access to a number of new courses that have been developed. These courses, termed “Nano” courses, come in four categories, Digital, Well-Being, Nutrition and health and finally Study Skills.

All the courses are short with the majority taking only an hour and they will hopefully provide a useful insight into the chosen topic.

The courses are provided at no cost to the individual learner. To enroll all you have to do is contact [email protected]  indicating the course or courses you would like to try. We will then respond to ask for some further personal details to be able to register you with the Skills Network platform and provide the information on how to access the course
