IT and Internet Basics

Knowing your way around IT and the internet is practical knowledge you cannot do without, at work or at home. These multiple-choice quizzes cover the fundamentals that help anyone who uses a smartphone or computer day to day, from students job hunting to people already in work.

Take the general knowledge quiz

What does it cover?

It covers everyday IT knowledge broadly: basic operation of computers and smartphones, how the web and email work, how to deal with social media, and the mindset for using it all safely. It suits people just entering the workforce who want to handle IT confidently, as well as anyone rethinking how they use it day to day.

What you will learn here

You will build the habit of handling information properly and the basic thinking behind using the internet while avoiding its risks. By working through widely accepted essentials — managing passwords, being wary of suspicious email — you develop the judgment to head off trouble before it starts. Nothing here is tied to a particular product or procedure; it all starts from the fundamentals.

How to approach it

Precisely because IT knowledge moves so quickly, having the basics down is what lets you adapt. Start with whichever topic interests you, take it a little at a time, and look back at the questions you got wrong. Use this quiz set in spare moments to keep your everyday knowledge up to date.
