We offer a six-week Introduction to Smartphones course for people who have little or no experience of using a smartphone (iOS or Android – all models). The course offers a welcoming space for people to learn together, help one another, build confidence in their digital skills and stay safe online.

This class is part of the wider Access to Industry mission to support individuals facing barriers and develop core skills like problem-solving, resilience and social connection. Internet safety is paramount in today’s world. We spend time on the course developing people’s awareness.

Eligibility criteria applies and spaces are limited. External candidates must be eligible for one of Access to Industry's services. If you are interested, contact us or speak to your Caseworker for more details.

Participants must be 16+ and have their own device (Android 14 and iOS 15 and up is advisable due to security updates and app support).

The group meets once a week for 1.5 hours. FUTURE DATES TBC.

Part of the wider Access to Industry mission to support individuals facing barriers and develop core skills like problem-solving, resilience, social connection and, in this case, developing people’s awareness of internet safety.
