Let's Talk Digital

Qualifications to inspire digital curriculum innovation

The Government’s ‘Essential Digital Skills Framework’ (2019) states that within two decades, 90% of jobs will require some digital proficiency, yet 11.3 million people lack basic digital skills.

Nine out of ten jobs involve the use of computers. So how are you going to meet the growing demand for digital skills?

Essential Digital Skills Qualifications Progress Update: We are pleased to inform you that OCN London has completed Ofqual’s technical evaluation and can now make our Essential Digital Skills qualifications available to centres. The qualifications will be ready for delivery in early 2021.

We have mapped our existing Digital Skills qualifications to the Department for Education’s new Essential Digital Skills Framework.
