The Digital Literacy Licence provides digital skills fundamentals to be applied across all industry areas and various parts of life.

We live in a digital era, supported by diverse technologies that are continually updating. Having digital skills that go beyond basic information technology is, therefore, crucial. We are savvy with our laptops and smartphones, yet most of us have had to learn on the go. As a result, there remains a lack of understanding of technology's mechanics and how to use it effectively and safely.

For many years, it has been argued that digital literacy skills are embedded in teaching other subject areas. However, the educators delivering these subjects themselves often lack digital literacy skills. Consequently, the students do not develop the foundational level of knowledge needed. Students are also undertaking tasks using digital devices and accessing the internet without understanding basics such as making sure their WiFi connection is safe, understanding the role of netiquette and correct data management processes.

The DLL provides these foundational digital literacy core skills.

Who is the DLL designed for?

The DLL is a suite of micro-credentials issued as digital badges when you complete each level.

You can add these digital badges to your resume or professional profile, validating you as having digital literacy knowledge and skills.

With over 82% of employers requiring some digital skills for their jobs, having the DLL could mean the point of difference you can make in a competitive job market.

There is currently nothing out there like the DLL!

Several programs are available online to help with digital literacy skills or online safety. However, these are not usually provided in a holistic and planned manner to address the skills outlined in the Australian Digital Literacy Skills Framework (DLSF) and the Australian Digital Capability Framework (ADCF).

Some providers used ICT10115 Certificate I in Information, Digital Media and Technology to address entry-level digital skills. However, this has been removed as an option from the national training register. Instead, students will be required to undertake a Certificate II qualification, which does not address foundational level digital literacy skills as outlined in the DLSF document.

We are also able to provide ‘deployment workshops’ where we run sessions of approximately 2 hours with groups of 30-40 participants to assist them in using a device to get started. There are also options for online check-in and Q&A sessions.

Yes, all our videos have closed captions and downloadable transcripts are available for audio files. We aim for A and AA compliance with the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1.

Yes! The student program is aligned with the Australian Digital Literacy Skills Framework, which forms part of the Australian Core Skills Framework (ACSF) and the Australian Digital Capability Framework (ADCF). Australia does not yet have a framework for the digital skills of teachers, therefore the Educator Capability Program is aligned with a UK educator framework.
