Course testimonials:
- I enjoyed the practicality, expertise of tutor plus consideration of different skill levels. Always encouraged to keep trying.
- Emma was a wonderful teacher
- I enjoyed seeing how easy it is to become aware of the way to use my ipad properly. Knowing the way to protect myself with some privacy issues too. The venue being very accessible was welcoming as was our presenter. I did not feel silly asking Emma questions that were unnecessary for other people.
- Learnt functions I had not previously been aware of. I feel I have a wider range.
- This was an excellent course. There was a lot of new information but it was delivered in a readily accessible way. The trainer was patient and understanding of the frustrations that seniors experience with technology. I will be attending more of these courses and I recommend them to others who want to enjoy using their iPads.
- Learning some of basics that I never knew about has made me much more capable of overcoming minor, yet irritating frustrations using my ipad.
- Actually learnt something ! There should be more tech courses for seniors who are not aiming to join workforce.
- Emma, the facilitator was an excellent communicator, giving one to one help, explaining everything and making the course very enjoyable. I look forward to the advanced class.
- I thought Emma our Trainer was excellent. I enjoyed it very much I now know how to use my iPad. Thank you very much.
