Readiness check

This is not the 45-minute check; that comes by email when your seat opens. These are ten everyday digital skills the program assumes. Tick the ones you can do today, no help.

• Type a short email on a laptop without hunting for the keys.
• Find a file you saved last week, rename it, and move it to a folder.
• Keep six browser tabs open and switch between them without losing your place.
• Sign in somewhere with two-factor authentication (a code from an app or a text).
• Use a password manager, or at least never reuse a password across sites.
• Join a video call, share your screen, and mute yourself.
• Put numbers in a spreadsheet and get a total with a formula.
• Install a program or an update, and tell whether it finished.
• Search for something, then tell a reliable source from a sketchy one.
• Sit with one task for 45 minutes, phone face down, no interruptions.

Tick what you can do.

Honest ticks only. Nobody sees this but you. Under eight ticks? A week with a free typing site and a library laptop closes most of the gap. Join the waitlist now anyway; seats take time to fund.
