    • I enjoyed the programming side of the course, so I'm doing this at uni; I've got lots of options for the future now.

      Yusuf Rafiy, Computing HND

    • After retiring 20 years ago, I wanted to further my knowledge of computers and get to grips with programmes such as Word, Excel and Powerpoint so I could use them at home. I’ve made lots of new friends on the course and I’m enjoying keeping my brain ticking over by learning new skills. I’m even able to help my grandchildren with their homework now. I’d definitely recommend the course and I’d like to do another one soon.

      Alan Roberts – Basic Computing Skills

    • I would definitely recommend the course to others because it’s very practical. We spend time in class actually building computers and fixing faults rather than just learning theory. I recently started a new job in IT Support and Sales and I’d like to go to University in the future to expand my knowledge even further.

      Ana-Maria Chelaru – IT Support Level 2 plus ECDL Extra Level 2

    • I didn’t know how to use a computer and I wanted to be able to keep up with my children and grandchildren. I’ve really enjoyed this course. It’s been a good introduction to the basics of computing and the tutor has been fantastic. Next I want to do another computer course, as well as doing my Maths and English, so I can secure a job in the future.
