All tuition is given in a
friendly class environment with as much one-on-one help as our teachers
and tutors can offer. We mainly use the Port Macquarie Library Technology
Room, which has 14 good quality computers - loaded with Microsoft Windows
- Vista and other programs. Any student is more than welcome to bring
along their own laptop to class.
If you have
problems why not see if we can help.
Please Note these classes must be
paid for when booking at the Monthly Meetings
Booking online:
All classes booked online MUST be paid for at the next Monthly Meeting, or the next class you attend, whichever arrives first.
There will be NO exceptions.
If you are experiencing problems using the booking

defined. The message which appears will be - Could not perform this
operation because the default mail client is not properly installed. This
means that your email system has not been defined on your computer. Please click here and follow the

Basic Computers and Revision
This is a four week course. Each week we will learn new skills such as
knowing our way around our computer, basic word processing, how to file and find our work, emailing, and the internet.
these lessons are for people who have little or no knowledge of computers, and also for people who have the need to
practice and do a little revision. This often happens, if we have not used our computer for some time, we need to "brush up".
Maybe we have changed our computer and need to understand the new system
