Introduction to computers for absolute beginner

I wanted to get you a card with an angel on it (as it is Christmas), as that is what you are to me. I've got so much to thank you for. Since I met you my life has changed. I feel much more confident in many ways thanks to you. I would never have thought of doing a computer course, but I'm so glad I'm doing it. I'm really enjoying it. Thank you Shem. Merry Christmas. P.s. Thank you for chasing the funding too.

One to one private tuition to a family

I have learnt more from Shem and Andy in two months than I could have learnt by myself in two years. They have also given me the confidence to have a go at almost anything because I know I can call on them for support and advice at any time. They provide an invaluable service and I cannot recommend them highly enough. My 3 children attend the Little Monsters Computer Club on Saturday mornings. Within about 2 sessions they had already overtaken most of the children in their class, even those who had computers at home for years. The children love attending, even though they are pushed as far as their potential will let them. It is not all games but they enjoy what they are doing because it is taught in a way that is not boring - even for a 7 year old boy with a low boredom threshold!

As a complete beginner I was pleased to be introduced to many aspects of computer use. Our tutor was very clear in her instruction. We were a mixed group and taught in groups of the same level. I think it was a very good introductory course.

I enjoyed the course and now look forward to having a go at New CLAIT.
