Technology has become a part of so many people’s lives, but not everyone has the skills or confidence to keep up with the constant changes. This course is aimed at those with no or limited experience with technology, teaching them the basics of using computers.
Bookings are essential as classes are small.
You can book into just one class, but we recommend completing it as a full course.
Please note: Due to the upcoming move, Liverpool will not be running all subjects next term.
Beginner Classes Carnes Hill, Liverpool City, and Moorebank Libraries Dates vary, start Wednesday 11 October | Intermediate Classes Green Valley and Casula Libraries Dates vary, start Tuesday 10 October |
