School of AI & Digital Work
Digital Skills & AI Literacy - Foundation Programme
For beginners who want to build confidence with everyday digital tools, understand AI safely, and become ready for further digital, remote and AI-enabled learning.
Programmes
Foundation is a level with seven programmes to choose from. Start here, or further along if you can already show the skills. Then practise, build and prove what you can do.
The path
Each step answers a simple question. Can you make sense of it? Can you use it? Can you show what you built?
Build foundational AI and digital confidence where needed.
Use new skills through guided, practical work.
Complete real projects, create evidence of what you can do and learn how to present it.
Use your experience more widely, support others and grow into leadership.

What you leave with
Taking part, finishing a programme and holding an external qualification are three different things. We keep the difference clear.
What you leave with is work you can show and explain: a project, a piece of research, a workflow, a resource. Something real, in your own words.
Taking part and completing a programme are recognised by the Academy. They are not accreditation, certification or credit from an external body, and we do not claim that they are.
Capability can open up learning, projects, research, collaboration and work. We do not promise a job or an income.
Not compulsory
If you can already show Foundation-level skills, you can begin further along. Nobody is asked to repeat what they already know.
