Adult Digital Literacy Classes
From basics to proficiency, our tailored digital literacy classes have you covered.
Do you need computer skills? We can help!
We have two options to increase your knowledge and ability.
NorthStar Digital Literacy offers a self-paced, online learning platform with lessons, practice, assessments, and certificates for proctored tests. Modules are offered in English and Spanish and can be accessed from our computer lab on-site or from your own computer.
NorthStar also supports a fully instructor-led, in-person, small-group class, which we offer semi-ongoing.
Contact Heather Lussier (heather@mcliteracy.org) to set up a NorthStar learner account, and/or to find out about the current availability of instructor-led classes. Both options are open to students and tutors.
