This course is for adults who have very little or no experience with computers. It focuses on building foundation skills such as turning on and off a device, using a mouse and the keyboard, navigating the home screen, and opening basic apps. You’ll also learn how to connect to Wi-Fi, adjust settings for accessibility, and understand basic digital etiquette. It’s the perfect first step for anyone who feels unsure about using computers.
Friendly, hands-on, and supportive. You’ll work in small groups with lots of guided practice and one-to-one help. There are no tests—just a relaxed environment to build your confidence. The tutor will also provide clear, easy-to-follow written handouts so you can review what you’ve learned at your own pace.
You will use the computers provided in the classroom. Please bring a notepad, a pen, and a folder so you can keep your handouts safe and organised.
You do not need to have your own computer at home. You can practise using the free computers at the Centre, or you can use computers at your local library in London.
Your tutor will give you guidance on the best next step for you, for example you can progress to Making a Start with Your PC Part 2.
