FAQ
Quick answers to the questions we hear most about this gateway and how it relates to the main Public Skills Hub site. Each answer links to a fuller page where one exists.
What is Public Skills Hub?
A free resource covering practical, real-world skills for modern work — things like practical AI use, workplace communication, and procurement. See about.
Why are there two addresses, .com and .co.uk?
publicskillshub.co.uk is the main site with the full, current library. This .com address is a small international gateway that orients global visitors and points them to the main site. See international visitors.
Should I read this site or go straight to the main one?
If you want the full, structured learning library, go straight to publicskillshub.co.uk. Stay here if you want general, international-framed background first — see getting started.
Is the content here different from the main site?
Yes, deliberately. This gateway covers general topics — why skills matter, overviews of skill areas, how to start learning — and never tries to reproduce the main site's specific catalogue or current material.
Are the skills covered relevant outside the UK?
Yes — practical AI use, digital literacy, communication and learning skills are broadly universal. Some procurement material reflects UK context specifically. See international visitors.
Does Public Skills Hub offer certificates or accreditation?
This gateway makes no claims about certification — for anything current on that front, check the main site directly.
Is any of this content paid or gated?
No — the whole point of Public Skills Hub is free, practical material without a paywall or login wall.
Where do I start if I'm not sure what I need?
