RESIDENTS in Stockton and Billingham are being encouraged to go online to obtain a recognised qualification.
Stockton and Billingham College has teamed up with the BBC to offer adult learners the chance to get a qualification in Internet skills.
The ten-hour structured course is called Becoming Webwise and ends with a one hour online test which leads to a recognised qualification.
The course starts in March and is spilt into eight sections, covering topics such as search engines, e-mail and viruses.
ILT coordinator Cam Swift from the college said: "Whether you are returning to work, changing career or simply want to learn new skills, BBC Becoming Webwise, will make you a confident Internet user.
"No experience of computers is required, and there will be someone on hand to guide you.
"The course costs £5.20, or it may be free to those in receipt of certain benefits."
