Barcelona Activa, through Cibernàrium and in collaboration with Barcelona Libraries, is launching a new edition of in-person preparation courses for the ACTIC Level 1 (basic), aimed at strengthening the digital skills of citizens and facilitating access to an official accreditation recognized by the Generalitat de Catalunya. 

The ACTIC is an official certificate issued by the Generalitat de Catalunya that validates your level of knowledge and use of digital tools before companies and public administrations. To obtain it, you must pass an online test with automatic evaluation. The preparation courses are designed to provide practical and accessible training to successfully take the official exam. The training is free and is aimed at individuals with basic digital knowledge who want to consolidate their skills and improve their employability. 

For the basic level, the certification includes six fundamental competencies related to the safe, efficient, and responsible use of technology. Each competency is worked on in in-person sessions, and the program runs from January to March.

Sessions will be held at different libraries across the city:

• Biblioteca Esquerra de l'Eixample - Agustí Centelles
• Biblioteca Camp de l'Arpa - Caterina Albert
• Biblioteca Gabriel García Márquez
• Biblioteca Horta - Can Mariner
• Biblioteca Jaume Fuster 

This training programme helps participants approach the examination with confidence; however, it is important to note that the official accreditation is only granted upon passing the test. Attendance at the courses does not, under any circumstances, replace the examination, which must be completed exclusively through the ACTIC portal.

With this call, Barcelona Activa reinforces its commitment to bringing digital training closer and providing more opportunities for access to the job market.
