IT Training

Often people relying on computers to carry out business or home related activities need to broaden their understanding of a particular tool, or need to start using another application, without the time or confidence to progress on their own. The benefit of only a few hours training not only helps them to become effective much more quickly, but also provides the confidence to explore the application more thoroughly at a later stage.

Courses offered

ComputAssist offers a range of practical courses and provides short, simple guides with suggested reference books to support users in the work and home environment. The training approach is structured, and is tailored to meet individual needs. Training can be provided to small groups, either within company premises or in hired accommodation, or to individuals at home.
