Overview

What this course is about

Start using a computer with confidence through patient, live one-on-one teaching. This Basic Computer Course begins with the keyboard, mouse, desktop, windows, folders and safe file handling before moving to everyday applications. You will practise creating, saving, renaming and finding documents, connecting common devices and using simple settings, with explanations designed for first-time learners and people returning to digital work.

Daily tasks form the centre of the training: typing, copying and pasting, printing, scanning, basic document preparation, internet searches, downloads and email attachments. You will also learn password awareness, safe browsing, updates and practical digital habits. The examples can reflect school assignments, job applications, shop records, household administration or communication with offices and services. Each activity is broken into small steps that you can repeat independently.

This is a supportive computer course after 10th or for any adult who wants a clear starting point, not an advanced software specialisation. Classes can be arranged between 7 AM and 9 PM or on weekends, with repeated practice and personal feedback. Completion includes a certificate.
