There is a manual or handout supplied for most of the courses.

Experienced Senior Trainer Presenters demonstrate each topic followed by “hands on” by the students on the Club’s computers and guided by Assistant Trainers. All you need to bring is enthusiasm, a notebook and a wish to learn. We provide the rest. You are invited to join other members and trainers for a tea break when attending the Club for your lessons.
