The course is designed to help members to understand and master their machines. The course is in a Computer suite so that members can have hands on practice. It is the same course as that presented by Sheila Jaworski last year, with amendments as necessary.

Each session follows the previous session to build up member's knowledge. The session notes may be found below as downloadable documents.

Helpers are on hand to guide members during each session.

There is an extra charge to cover the use of the computer suite.
