Digital Skills for Work – Construction

Digital technology is now a core part of modern construction, from site communication to project planning and reporting. This course introduces the essential digital skills that help workers stay secure, organised, and effective in a fast moving industry.

Learners begin by looking at how to protect devices and data. Construction teams often share information across multiple locations, so understanding secure logins, safe storage, and protection from online threats is key to keeping both personal details and project data safe.

Communication forms another central theme. The course explores how digital tools support coordination between site workers, supervisors, and office staff. Email, messaging apps, video meetings, and digital reporting tools allow teams to share updates quickly and clearly, helping projects run smoothly.

Practical digital skills are then applied to real construction scenarios. Learners gain awareness of how technology supports daily tasks such as accessing plans, managing schedules, completing documentation, and using mobile devices to record on site information. These skills improve efficiency and accuracy across a range of construction activities.

Finally, the course looks at how digital resources can support career development. From completing online training to building a digital CV and searching for new roles, learners discover how digital confidence can help them progress within the construction sector.

Designed for individuals working on site or in construction related roles, this course provides straightforward guidance that strengthens digital awareness and supports safer, more productive working.
