The aim of the 12 week Basic IT course is for people who are new to computers

The emphasis is placed on making it “fun to learn" as this is paramount to the success of learning computer skills

Topics taught will cover basic keyboard skills, entering text into a document, cut/copy/paste text, deleting and formatting of text, an understanding of the folder and file structure and saving a document before printing using "Microsoft Word Processor"

Having mastered these basic functions other more advanced techniques can then be taught

Having learnt these principles, it is hoped that the students will have gained the knowledge and confidence to continue for other courses covering such topics as E Mail, internet browsing or the editing of digital photos
