This module has been designed to provide the delegates with an overview of ‘How To Use’ a computer. Assuming a limited amount of computer knowledge, the module will teach some basic terminology, the outcome being to increase the delegate’s confidence with whichever hardware they use (i.e. PCs, Laptops, Mobile Phones/Smart Devices).
Although the trainer will discuss and demonstrate, throughout the session emphasis will be placed on the delegates practicing the topics covered, the best way to learn is to ‘do’.
