The last word
For a real beginner, I found the course easy to
follow and everyone very helpful.
Excellent course. I gave up on two previous
courses, but was very sorry when I had to miss
one day of this one!
The course was not only excellent, but very
enjoyable. The children were very polite and
helpful, the teacher was well organised, allowing
each person to work at their own pace.
I have been to several computer classes and this
one has been, by far, the best. The whole thing
was excellent from start to finish. Great
appreciation, rather than great frustration!
