​Are you looking for a computer course for beginners? 

If you have found yourself in a position where computer skills are required for a new role or needing computer skills for employment opportunities, then our Starter Package is perfect for you.  We  believe that just doing one computer course has few benefits for a beginner as information is easily forgotten.  Our Starter Package builds on your knowledge week on week which creates an opportunity for the cementing of new skills.

Those who have undertaken our Starter Package comment on how much more confident they feel using a computer and have a clearer understanding of more commonly used software packages and computer jargon.    There is less confusion and fear.

We work with many rehabilitation organisations and WorkCover clients looking at upgrading their computer skills to return to work after an injury.

Structure
​The Starter Package consists of four separate sessions usually one day a week over four weeks.  Classes are often very small and our training environment is supportive and non-threatening.  No question is a silly question.  All four sessions are delivered at our training centre in Maroochydore on the Sunshine Coast QLD.
