One Day Course

This course has been created with the purpose of introducing people to the internet. The ability to use the internet for research, information gathering and leisure purposes is rapidly becoming an expected skill to have for people to “know how to do”. This course assumes little or no previous experience of using the internet – and is intended to give a broad base knowledge of what “can be done”.   

Course Aims to enable delegates to:

Feel comfortable in using the internet to find and discover information, and to understand how a web-based mail system typically works. Delegates will be able to search effectively, understand links and following these, and gain an appreciation of how a browser can be used to find and display information, and how to be able to retrace steps and “bookmark” favourites.
