Local Digital Training Library

While COVID-19 has put a temporary stop to our classroom-based training, we have created a library of online training courses to support local authority staff to learn and develop their digital skills. Find out how we developed this training offer.

The training opportunities fall into three categories:

• Free: courses that are free for all
• Fee applies: courses that are open to all, but which have an entry fee
• Funded by LDCU: a series of certified courses that are paid for in full by us – these can be identified by the star icon

The courses featured on this page are run by external organisations. While we will try to keep them up-to-date, please be aware that course information – including start dates – is subject to change by the organiser at any time.

How to apply for a funded course

We have purchased 350 licences with the online learning platform, FutureLearn, which can be redeemed against a number of certified courses. Once you’ve browsed the library and selected the course that interests you, complete the form on the course page to let us know who you are and why you would like to complete the course.

Contact the Local Digital team by emailing skills@localdigital.gov.uk if you have any questions about training.
