Computer Fundamentals

This is the course for anyone who feels lost in front of a computer. We start with the very basics, using the mouse and keyboard, and build up step by step until you can organise your files, browse the web, send emails with attachments and video call your family without help. Classes move at a calm pace and nobody is left behind.
