Why this course?
Advanced Skill Certificates in online training are increasingly significant for special populations in the UK's evolving job market. The demand for digitally skilled workers is surging, yet unemployment among certain groups remains high. According to the Office for National Statistics (ONS), in 2022, the unemployment rate for disabled people was significantly higher than the national average. Providing accessible and targeted online training, leading to recognised Advanced Skill Certificates, is crucial to bridging this skills gap and boosting employability.
