Spring Update
All our beginners’ classes are more group sessions than formal classes. Everyone will be using standard computers in the class so everything should be similar to other machines – you are however welcome to bring your own laptop and tablet, etc. You will need a modern smart phone for later in the course in order to access email etc.
You will throughout have the opportunity to practise using your own mobile device.
