PC‑Skills.brussels is an Actiris project aiming to offer online IT training courses to all inhabitants of Brussels who are:

• job seekers registered with Actiris,
• workers,
• students,
• retirees,
• Brussels council workers,
• emancipated minors or minors on a work-study contract.

The lessons are accessible via an e-learning platform (online independent learning). You can learn to use up to six different applications: Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams and Access.

PC-Skills.Brussels offers a unique dynamic and interactive educational approach.

This solution, available in English, French and Dutch, has a unique feature: it offers to learn directly within the application. You watch a lesson on a given theme, carry out an exercise in the studied application and your answer is checked. Another one of its strengths is that you do not need to buy or install the Office suite in order to follow the course.

The training programme also offers a comprehensive digital book with a search engine used to quickly access the required information.
