Applied Digital Skills

In the Digital Skills in Order course, students learn to use Microsoft 365 applications: OneDrive, Teams, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel. Beginners gain essential skills that enable them to use office applications smoothly in their work and/or other studies.

After completing the course, participants, among other things:

• understand why files should be stored in the cloud
• feel confident participating in Teams meetings and know how to use Teams chats and teams for their own purposes
• use Outlook email and calendar to reduce workload
• know how to create a polished PowerPoint presentation and present it in Teams
• produce Word documents fluently, from collaborative work to academic writing, and know how to share them in an appropriate format
• create, organize, and interpret Excel spreadsheets as needed

Participants who have previously used the applications will receive additional tips (for example, organizing their own work, creating templates, and using nested functions) to improve efficiency. The course can also be completed without studying the tips sections. The course is suitable for learners at different skill levels.

The primary target group is employed learners, but people outside the workforce and those planning further studies will also benefit from the course.

This course is part of the DITTA project. By enrolling in the course using the DITTA project enrolment type, the course is free of charge for you. More information about the DITTA project is available at kamk.fi/Ditta

The aim of the Digital and AI Skills for Citizens project (DITTA), implemented by KAMK, is to strengthen the digital skills of working-age people through accessible and free online studies. The target group consists of working-age people who are employed or outside the workforce. Degree students cannot participate in the training through the project. The project runs from 9 December 2024 to 31 May 2026.

The training is funded by the European Union Recovery and Resilience Facility (RRF), which is the largest programme of the EU recovery instrument (Next Generation EU). The funding has been granted by the Service Centre for Continuous Learning and Employment. The Service Centre promotes skills development among the working-age population and the availability of a skilled workforce. Its operations are guided by the Ministry of Education and Culture and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Employment.
