Hey, do you know somebody who wants to learn the basics of computing?

It can be frustrating trying to teach your parents, grandparents, friends and workmates. You show them, but they soon forget it all.

And for them, it's hard to learn. Computers and smartphone are so foreign. And people (like you) teach them too fast!

That's where we can help.

Our free Beginners Computing Course helps people with the basics. We start with how to turn it on. How to use a mouse. How to type. Then, we get into things like email, web browsing, documents, photos and all that.

So, do you know anybody who wants to learn about computers, but lacks a computer to learn on and a patient friend to teach them?

Send them our way! The next course starts on Monday 30 July, and runs from 10 am to midday for 12 weeks.

Contact Elise to learn more. coordinator@adultlearning.co.nz or 03 548 3041 or 027 2288 036.
