Learn about basic digital skills and get your ICT questions answered.

No need to feel overwhelmed, that’s why we offer guidance in this walk-in hour where you can learn about the basic and essential digital skills and technology needed for studying. You can also ask questions and get answers from ICT specialists, even those questions you might think are silly or dumb.
