Computer Centre

by Roger Stannard

Our computer facility (although small and slightly cramped) is extremely popular with classes being well attended, so much so that we needed to and did upgrade our computers, which has enabled us to offer a new and interesting range of training. We now offer courses in Microsoft Windows 7, digital camera / photography, digital  storytelling

(slideshow creation and photo/ video to DVD

creation) and excellent tuition in the latest office applications (we teach Office 2007 but our computers do have the latest Office 2010 installed and we can accommodate users on request).

 

Importantly, we offer courses on understanding and using the Internet safely. We have added a social networking

course to our Monday line-up primarily designed for parents to understand, be able to use and safely supervise minors on sites such as FaceBook.

 

We offer a relaxed, fun and understanding atmosphere in which to you can come to terms with new technologies, our experienced tutors will guide you through the exciting

world of your new computer and onto the Internet.

 

These courses are always popular, please call and book today.
