The Skills Toolkit

After its original launch on 28th April 2020, The Skills Toolkit has expanded to include more than 60 new courses, with a wider range of digital and numeracy courses and a new selection of soft skills and work readiness courses.

The Skills Toolkit is an online learning platform launched by the UK Government. It gives you access to free, high quality digital, numeracy and employability courses, to help you build up your skills, progress in work and boost your job prospects. There’s something for everyone, no matter your experience or background. All courses on The Skills Toolkit are free and easy to access, meaning you can learn on your own terms, at a time and place that suits you.

The following (free) courses are presently available through Cisco Networking Academy programme, and signposted in The Skills Toolkit under the Coding section:
