Taking the first steps in any new undertaking can be quite daunting.

Having even a brief introduction to a new subject 'breaks the ice' and allows confidence and knowledge to grow.

What we do

We offer training in all aspects of computer use:

• ab initio
  to expert

We believe in a relaxed, gentle introduction over several short sessions to get you started.

You will find your confidence will grow quickly and within a few sessions you will have lost the fear that most novice computer users start with and you will probably find the course is also a lot of fun!
