Spaces are now available on an Age UK B&NES popular Silver Surfers computer classes for beginners in the local Bath area.
The four-week course takes place in Bath and is taught by a team of volunteers, with each pupil receiving one-to-one tuition. The team teaches the basics and is keen to remove the fear that many people have when it comes to technology, computers and the internet.
Vacancies are now available on courses, but you must contact Age UK B&NES to book your place.
Paula Smith from Age UK B&NES said: “The Silver Surfers course is suitable for people who have little or no computing experience. Many people, even those who have computers at home are daunted by the technology or lack confidence in how to use certain facilities.
“Our tutors are here to support people, whatever level they are at and with whatever skills they want to gain. Having computer skills is becoming more and more important and can make life much easier for people, allowing them to access the information they need. It’s also a great way to keep in touch with family and friends. Using social media can open up a whole new world to people.”
The four-week course costs £12 and takes place on a Wednesday morning at Age UK’s St Michaels Centre, St Michaels Place, Bath.
