Want to help others with digital skills and confidence? We deliver award-winning training and support via the Digital Champions Network. It's a ready-made framework that provides everything you need to turn staff and volunteers into Champions who can help others.
Why use a Champion model?
Our training is based on a model that helps your staff and volunteers help others. We don't train your end-learners. We train your champions and each one can go on to help hundreds of other people.
For Champions
- A genuinely rewarding experience, helping people learn crucial skills.
- CPD certified qualifications.
- Improved digital skills and confidence.
- Improved transferable “soft skills” like active listening and coaching skills.
For your organisation
- Flexible, adaptable & tailored to your aims.
- Quick to introduce, building on strengths & skills you already have.
- Sustainable and embedded in your organisation
- Cost-effective and easy to scale at speed to support lots of people in short space of time
For Beneficiaries
- Life-changing digital skills.
- Taught in a way that suits them: people with low digital skills prefer to be taught by people (not online) over a sustained period of time.
- Often delivered by organisations and individuals they already know and trust.
- And often as part of other services, targeted directly to the skills they need.
It’s all the wrap around support for Champions that we don’t have the capacity to provide within our own organisation.
So CPD training that you can access anytime, PDFs, guides and resources Champions can keep coming back to, specific help around working with specific groups of people like different ages/backgrounds.
