Programs and Partnerships Officer, Scott Baker, said that the sessions are easy-paced and fun with the emphasis on group learning.
“So often people are worried that they will break a computer or device if they press the wrong button - we want to help people learn more about technology so they can do what they need to do online with confidence,” Mr Baker said.
The training covers technology topics including introduction to computers, basic Internet, internet tools and tips, email, privacy and cyber safety, social media, online shopping and banking, introduction to iPads and an introduction to android tablets.
People can select a combination of sessions to suit their needs or attend the classes sequentially. Sessions run for two hours from 10.30am - 12.30pm.
“Our training staff are friendly and experienced in different technologies and they are also great at explaining away the mysteries of technology,” Mr Baker said.
