Basic computer skills

Our free Wiser4IT course is for anyone who wants to learn how to use a computer.

Wiser4IT is ideal for those over 50 years-old but anyone can ask to take part.

The course has 5 sessions that take place over 5 weeks. Sessions cover:

  • using a mouse and getting started on a computer
  • exploring the internet
  • sending and replying to emails
  • typing simple documents and word processing
  • adding pictures and clip art to documents

Sessions last 2 hours, with a break for refreshments.

The sessions are very informal and you can learn at your own pace.
