Government Digital and Data Hub

Digital and Data community-led learning

If you already work in digital and would like to develop some skills, are curious about the field, or are maybe considering a government digital career, then we have some courses to help get you started or continue your development.

All our courses below are free to access on the FutureLearn platform, and are open to everyone. They are self-led: meaning that you learn at your own pace each week.

You will learn through a mix of reading, completing tasks, and watching educational videos. You can keep track of your progress by taking quizzes and end-of-week tests, and by completing the learner tasks throughout the course.
