New 2021 Workshop – Computer Fundamentals

Due to demand, we developed our ‘Computer Fundamentals’ workshop and ran our first workshop as a closed group workshop, with great success! We are running our first open workshop on the 23 September 2021 from 9am to 3pm (if this date is too far away, let us know as we can either do as a one-on-one or if we get enough interest, we can open up another date sooner).

We are excited to bring you a new 6-hour workshop! It has been designed for those with little or no previous experience using a computer, who would like the opportunity to learn more and become a confident computer and Microsoft 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.
