Course details

In this free session you will start to learn more about how you can use your tablet and/or smartphone to make everyday tasks easier. If you have always wondered what the features on your phone or tablet do and how you could make use of them, then this might be just the place to start. Come along and meet our team, see what our adult learning centres are like and find out from our experienced tutors what more you could learn about your tablet or smartphone.

What are you doing to keep learners safe?

The safety of our learners and staff is our top priority and we’ve made some big changes to our centres, from socially-distanced training rooms to staggered start times. Although things will look different, our staff will be as friendly and helpful as ever and we’re really excited to welcome learners back.

If you’re concerned about visiting one of our centres, please get in touch so we can discuss it with you.

What do I need to join the course?

You don’t need any previous experience, just a willingness to come and take part. It will be helpful if you have your own tablet or smartphone, but if not, just let us know when you enrol and you can use one of ours in the session.

What do I need to bring with me to the first session?

We recommend that you bring a notebook and a pen and your tablet or mobile phone if you wish to use it. All of our classrooms have free wifi.

How will I be taught?

This course will be delivered by an experienced tutor in one of our computer suites. The session will include demonstrations as well as group activities and individual exercises.

What will I learn?

During the session you will get to know what your tablet or smartphone is capable of. The tutor will demonstrate some of the features and explain what else you could learn on a follow on course so that you get the very best out of your device.

What could I do next?

Once you’ve attended this course you’ll be in a position to decide whether you wish to continue to learn more about the subject and perhaps sign up to our getting started with tablets and smartphones course.If you want to try a different subject then we offer a range of opportunities in computer skills, English, maths, employability, creative skills, retail, photography, supporting teaching and learning in schools and many more.

Can we help you to learn?

You can find more information on the Financial help and additional support page or you can contact us to talk about this and any other support we can provide.
