Make the most of the Digital College, have fun and learn new skills.

One way of standing out from the crowd is to enhance your skills in a specific subject area, ideally related to the sector that you are looking to work in.

We have a number of Vocational Open Online Courses (VOOCs) available. VOOCs are accredited by the HIGHFIELD awarding body who are recognised and trusted by employers to deliver quality training.

Here is a selection of some of the courses available. There are many more on their website:
 

  • Level 2 Food Hygiene and Safety Course

  • An Introduction to Basic Food Hygiene Course

  • An Introduction to First Aid at Work

  • Health and Safety Awareness for Employees

  • A Guide to Manual Handling

  • Level 1 Award in Health and Safety in a Construction Environment

  • Retail Values

You can work through the VOOC courses at your own pace, they are easy to use, are fun to do, are up to date and you can access them anytime you like.

This system requires login details. If you don't have any please talk to your consultant.

You also have access to Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) where you can take your learning to the next level in the areas that will help you to advance your career prospects. A great way of improving your knowledge and adding to the content of your CV.
