What do I need to join the course?

A willingness to learn and a positive attitude! You need to have a little experience in using a smartphone or tablet, including navigating the screen and opening apps. If you want to learn these basics first, why not come along to our Getting to Grips with Using Your Smartphone or Tablet course first?

What do I need to provide for the first session?

You might find it useful to bring your own smartphone or tablet along to the session so that we can help you with using your very own device. We do have some tablets available in our centre for you to use if you do not have your own. You might also find it helpful to bring a notebook and pen to make some notes to help with your learning.

What could I do next?

You can choose to complete some of our other digital courses to improve your computer skills. As a next step, you could choose to learn about using and your emails in our Managing Your Emails on Your Smartphone or Tablet courses, or you could explore more courses in our internet pathway such as Online Shopping or Recognising Online Risks and Scams.

Can we help you to learn?
