There are still a few places left on taster sessions for people wishing to use computers for record keeping (databases), word processing or web publishing. Databases are ideal for keeping details such as lists of Christmas/birthday presents, music or recipe collections, a record of birthdays, address lists or customer details. Word processing can be used to produce professional looking documents such as letters, posters and invitations, you can even produce your own individual letter headed notepaper or reduce the time involved in sending out the type of letters that you might send out with Christmas cards. Finally, the web publishing session is ideal for anyone who'd like to know how to set up a website on the Internet.
Overall, the taster courses offer you the chance to try out new things on computers at very little cost. If these courses are successful there is the possibility that follow on courses will be offered.
The tutors will be from LymeNet, a training centre based in Lyme Regis and the courses will be held in the Reading Room in Burton Bradstock.
