Our comprehensive curriculum focuses on the following digital skills:

Virtual collaboration tools (Microsoft Teams)

Conversational Artificial Intelligence (Chat GPT)

ChatGPT is an AI-powered tool that can generate human-like responses, assist with writing, automate tasks, and support learning. In this module, you’ll explore how conversational AI is transforming communication, productivity, and innovation.

Forms data collection (Microsoft Forms)

Microsoft Forms lets you easily create surveys, quizzes, and polls. You’ll learn how to collect responses in real time, analyze results with built-in tools, and use the insights to inform decision-making and streamline data collection efforts.

Data analytics (Microsoft Power BI)

Power BI is a data visualization tool that turns raw information into interactive reports and dashboards. This module introduces key data concepts, showing you how to import, clean, and present data to support organizational goals and insights.
