IT4U
For more advanced IT courses ask the staff about our “IT For You” courses. You can do these simply to learn more, or to prepare yourself for the ECDL qualification.
Skills for Life
Do you struggle with punctuation, writing letters, fractions or percentages?
In the Learning Zone you can do a short test to check whether you could do with a brush-up:
Initial assessment - numeracy – This should measure your
general mathematics skills, your ability to make
measurements and your space and shape recognition.
Initial assessment - literacy- This will measure your listening, reading and writing skills.
If, having done a test you find that you could do with a little help, staff can signpost you to courses in Bradford where you can gain a nationally recognised qualification. This can be useful if you are applying for a new job.
Drop in and see us for more information, or give us a call - we are here to help.
Telephone 01274 434870
Some of the courses above are also available in other libraries across the district.
