As a result of feedback obtained from the Open Evening held in Burton Bradstock Primary School in November, Weymouth College and LymeNet are offering some free computer training sessions.
Everyone is being offered the chance to have their computer training needs assessed at an individual level to see which skills they may already have, and what further training may be needed. People who have little or no experience of computers will be given the chance to get started and to have a go by being shown, for example, how to use a mouse and make things happen. During a training session you will be able to obtain an easy to use e-mail address, and will be given the opportunity to explore the Internet with the support of a friendly tutor.
The sessions will be held in Burton Bradstock and will be free of charge.
The first session will be on Thursday 18th January 2007 from 2.00- 4.00pm at the West Dorset Research Centre next to Manor Farm.
Another session has been scheduled for Thursday 1st February 2.00-4.00pm
Simply book your place by calling LymeNet on 01297 444570.
