What will attending this webinar help our members do better?

Digital Skills is a key focus and has been a legal entitlement for adults since August 2020, alongside maths and English at Level 2, this change is therefore significant within apprenticeships. While Digital Functional Skills are not a mandatory option in most apprenticeships, they provide part of the wider perspective of providing training that is considered essential for adults to be able to thrive in Modern Britain. Although based on the same framework as Essential Digital Skills, Digital Functional Skills are very different. These qualifications have been designed to be relevant to the workplace and could be beneficial for apprentices.

This interactive webinar will provide the information necessary to embrace the change and make the necessary adjustments to learning programmes required to support the different expectations.
