For many people this has included on-line shopping and social media. People are now accessing more and more services on line, such as on-line banking. It is proposed that in the future some services will only be available on line - this is known as ‘digital by default’. Our courses are designed for absolute beginners to more advanced users. If you have never used a computer before we can get you started, including how to use the Internet and e-mail. We can also help you to make better use of your mobile devices, such as smart phones and tablets, or get started on social media.
