📣 Do you want to become more confident with using a computer and Microsoft Windows?

Our 6 hour workshop is designed for those with little or no previous experience using a computer and would like the opportunity to learn more and become a confident computer and Windows user.  You will walk away from this workshop feeling confident to navigate and customise Microsoft Windows, including how to use a pen drive, zip files and some of Windows favourite apps. Learn how to browse the internet using Chrome & Edge, including customising to become more efficient.  Then finishing off the day learning the basics of our favourite Microsoft apps, Word, Excel & Outlook, and let’s not forget the most important part, good computer and internet security practices.
