Get Online Centre
Opened Monday 9 January
The Isle of Man Government's new Get Online Centre is a dedicated space for developing digital skills, confidence and awareness to be able to use devices, browse the internet and embrace digital. The Centre will provide training and access to the internet, to ensure everyone has the opportunity to get online for free.
The training and support will be provided by our friendly trainers, helping learners understand the benefits of being online and showing them how to complete a range of simple activities that can make a huge difference to those who cannot or do not use the internet.
The centre will offer both one-to-one and group sessions on topics such as:
- Using the internet
- Internet security
- Shopping online
- Understanding computer basics
- Health and Fitness
- Using email, WhatsApp and other Apps
- Music and Audio
There will be a training room to deliver group sessions and we also invite organisations to use this space to deliver or host digital inclusion related activities, whether it be training or an awareness raising event, we would like to encourage like-minded organisations to take advantage of this space and help promote digital inclusion on the Island.
