for those new to computers
(delivered in class on the Sunshine Coast)
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.
If you would like to join our next Starter Package group, we have the following upcoming dates.
