Whoever you are, whatever you want to do UK online will help you get on. UK online centres are for people who have limited or no access to skills in using new technologies. The centres will help people to develop the skills to use the Internet to access information, send email using a PC, mobile phone, digital television or games console; (please note not all centres will have the same facilities), and explore the opportunities that new technologies offer such as for further learning and updating skills.

Hands on with UK online

The UK online centres are based in communities and will enable everyone in England, who wants it, to have access to the Internet and e-mail near to where they live. It could be in an Internet Café on the High St, in a public library, in a college, in a community centre, a village, a mobile centre, or anywhere available to the public. They have been designed to meet the needs of local people who have low or no ICT skills or access to Information, Communication Technology (ICTs).

The world of communication, information and e-commerce that the Internet offers is the world of the future, and it is open to you. This is a promise made by UK online - a major government initiative that makes sure that everyone has access to the Internet.

As well as providing access to the Internet and email, support from staff in the centers will be on hand to help people to explore opportunities for further learning through ICTs.
