Computers in Homes Course with e-learning Porirua

Rebecca Burton from Scots College

E-learning Porirua are holding their Computers in Homes course at Scots College on Thursday evenings for Term 3.

The Computers in Homes programme is a 9 week course that will take participants through a basic introduction of your computer, creating and using email, setting up digital documents and storage, online search engines, access to digital news platforms and more. Included during the course is how to apply for jobs online and assistance in setting up job applications. Participants will be guided each step of the way in a supportive, friendly environment. Each participant will complete the course with a certificate. Participants who do not have a working computer may be able to take one home on completion of the course.

The Computers in Homes course is free for beneficiaries. Other participants are required to pay a $50 fee. Devices are provided. Participants need only bring an open mind, ready to learn.

You can sign up in person by contacting Lynda Murray at Email: lovestrathmorepark@gmail.com or Phone: 021 247 9728 or in person at any of these Community Centres: Strathmore Community Centre, Raukawa Community Centre, Miramar Community Centre or Seatoun Village Hall
