Certification for Digital Skills
How does it work?
We provide your students with certificates to celebrate their competence with digital skills and an annual plaque for your school to demonstrate constantly up-to-date student engagement with digital skills. Students will receive mini certificates for each course completed and a full Olus Digital Skills certificate if/when they complete the full range of digital skills: device skills, online skills and safety, mainstream software, creative skills, coding and robotics.
The programmes are student-led, so they reduce teacher workload while raising learning standards in the classroom. Teachers can also elect to build their own skills if they wish, we support that too with different options for teacher CPD.
The overall aim of the certification programme is to focus on empowering students to be SAFE, SKILLED, and CONFIDENT users of technology.
Our primary school programme provide you with an instant differentiated curriculum for 1st-6th class. The programme is device/software agnostic so you can take part with iPads, Chromebooks or laptops.
Our secondary school programme focuses primarily on developing Google Workspace and Microsoft 366 skills as well as device skills. Other options include Canva, coding and (coming soon) online safety/ digital wellbeing.
Our Mission
Gavin and Diarmuid built Olus to give every student the chance to learn the digital skills that are essential for success in the modern world.
From online safety, to how to use Google Workspace or Microsoft, or even advanced coding - Olus is here to ensure no child gets left behind. Typical barriers to learning these essential skills include a lack of financing for schools, the digital skills and confidence of teachers, and available time for teachers to upskill. Olus can solve this by removing the need for traditional training and enabling the teacher to learn alongside the students through the Olus learning portal. Our student-led solution provides more in-depth and impactful support than traditional training models, and it does so at a fraction of the cost. This means that every student can start learning tomorrow, no matter where they are, what devices they have in their school, or who their teacher is.
Gavin Molloy (L) is a former primary school teacher and university lecturer. Diarmuid Ó Muirgheasa (R) is a software engineer who has taught Leaving Cert computer science in The Institute of Education and The Dublin Academy of Education.
