You don’t need to be an IT professional to benefit from computer skills. There are several basic skills that can make everyday work easier and improve your employability. Here are basic ones:
- Microsoft Word – for creating letters, CVs, reports and other documents.
- Microsoft Excel – for calculations, records, budgets and organising information.
- Email and Internet Skills – for communication, research and accessing online services.
- File Management – knowing how to create, save, organise and retrieve files.
- Online Safety – understanding passwords, suspicious links, scams and how to protect your personal information.
Learning these fundamentals provides a strong foundation for developing more advanced digital skills.
