Community Programmes for Adults

Suitable for adults and teens.

Computers and coffee

A programme for beginners and beyond to improve their confidence in the use of computers. The first four sessions in each series will develop basic computer skills by introducing Word, Email, Publisher and clever use of the internet. Make the most of the online library catalogue and website and if you have a query bring it along. For example: How do I download pictures from my camera? How do I attach a document to an email? Can I see the house my son lives in Amsterdam? What is skype? Improve your skills and move onto your own projects with help from the group and tutor.
