Beginner's Computer Basics class
If you are reading this then you may not need this class! However, you may know someone who could benefit - Aunty Maude, Grandad... So please pass the message on. We are teaching very basic skills using Chromebooks.
This will be 6-8 lessons in a small group starting in early October. There will be a small fee of $60 for this class to cover our room hire. We will have devices available but we expect students to purchase their own devices before the end of the course. We will advise on this. (There's no point in learning if you can't use it!).
There will be a class held in Palmerston North, and one in Feilding.

This not only benefits those experiencing cognitive decline but also their families and the wider community.
