— Our story
FirstClick Digital Skills teaches the everyday phone and computer skills people need, in plain English, at your own pace, on the device already in your hand.
Here at home, I keep meeting capable people who are being held back by technology. They struggle to attach a document to a job application, cannot tell whether a text message is a scam, or put off a simple task because the website feels as if it was built for someone else. Nothing is wrong with them. Nobody took the time to show them properly.
I have also heard the same complaint, again and again, about many of the courses already out there. They move too fast, they assume you already know the words, and they are hard to find your way around. Too often, people start with good intentions and quietly give up.
Change can feel like a door closing on you. Many of us were told, one way or another, that technology is not for people like us: too old, too late, too complicated. We believe the opposite. Being open to something new is not about being young or clever. It starts with one small step, taken with someone patient beside you. That is what we are here for.
FirstClick was built to be the opposite. Clear steps. Everyday words. Real Caribbean examples. You learn on your own time and at your own pace, and the price is set so that cost is not the reason anyone gets left behind. Registration is J$3,500, paid once, and both Beginner levels are included.
We are based in Kingston, Jamaica, and FirstClick is built for people right across the Caribbean. The lessons use everyday examples from the region: the scams people actually receive, the forms they have to fill in and the offices they deal with. Wherever you are in the Caribbean, what we teach works the same way.
To give people across Jamaica and the Caribbean the everyday phone, computer and online-safety skills they need, taught in plain English, at their own pace and at a price that leaves no one behind, so they can use technology with confidence.
A Caribbean where everyone, whatever their age, income or experience, can use technology safely, and no one is held back, shut out or scammed because of it.
"I kept meeting smart, capable people being left behind by technology, and courses that made it harder instead of easier. FirstClick is my answer: learning that is simple, affordable and yours to take at your own pace."

If you have a smartphone or a computer and an internet connection, you have everything you need. No classroom, no timetable, and no one looking over your shoulder.
Every technical word is explained the first time it appears. If a lesson needs jargon to make sense, the lesson is wrong, not you.
Phone, tablet or computer. Big text, big buttons and light pages that load quickly. Start on one and carry on from another, because your progress is saved to your account. No heavy videos eating your data.
The scams that actually circulate in Jamaica, the forms people actually fill out, the problems people actually hit.
There is no class to keep up with and no one watching. Repeat a lesson as often as you like.
One person who learns to send an email teaches a neighbor. A church group learns to spot a scam and warns a whole congregation. That is the point of this. We are not building a tech company; we are helping our friends and family stop feeling shut out.
— Try it first
Not a commitment. Just one lesson, to see how it feels when someone explains it properly.
