Many of our IT courses are designed for people who are starting from the beginning or who want to improve their confidence with technology.
Whether you’re looking to become more comfortable using a computer, improve your skills with Microsoft Office, learn new workplace technologies, or develop your digital confidence, you don’t need any previous IT qualifications or technical experience to get started.
Our tutors understand that everyone begins at a different level and will guide you through the learning process at a pace that feels comfortable and manageable.
If you’re unsure which course is most suitable for your current skill level, our team will be happy to help you find the right starting point.
Yes.
Many people join our IT courses because they want to improve their confidence with technology, learn new workplace skills, or simply become more comfortable using digital tools in everyday life.
Our training is designed to be practical, supportive, and easy to follow. We focus on helping learners understand the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced topics, ensuring you build confidence as you progress.
You’ll learn in a supportive environment where questions are encouraged and no prior knowledge is assumed. Whether you’re returning to learning after many years or using certain technologies for the first time, you’ll be supported throughout your journey.
The goal isn’t just to learn new skills. It’s to leave feeling more confident and capable when using technology at work and in everyday life.
Many EMS courses are fully funded, but funding depends on factors such as where you live, your current circumstances, and the programme you’re interested in.
We work with a range of funding providers across areas including Tees Valley, York & North Yorkshire, and the wider North East. This means funding opportunities can vary throughout the year.
The good news is that you don’t need to work it all out yourself. If you’re unsure whether you qualify, simply get in touch and we’ll explain what support may be available and recommend the most suitable options.
Many learners are pleasantly surprised to discover they are eligible for funded training.
Many EMS courses include recognised qualifications or certificates, while others focus on developing practical skills and knowledge that can be applied immediately.
The qualification you receive will depend on the course you choose.
Every course page clearly explains what is included, and our team can help you understand which qualifications may be most relevant to your goals.
More importantly, our focus is not just on gaining a certificate. We want you to leave with skills, confidence, and knowledge that you can put into practice straight away.
