Enrolling in higher level courses

Members are reminded that it is Club policy that to participate in one of the higher level courses you must have completed the basic Windows courses.

The basic Windows courses build your confidence with the computer and show you the essential skills required for further courses, including:

Opening and closing programs, Naming and saving files, Creating folders under My Documents, Designing your own filing system

Moving files and folders, Deleting files and folders, Create text in WordPad, Empty the Recycle Bin

Retrieving files and folders from the Recycle Bin   

Using the keyboard to edit text — using the Shift, Control, Backspace, Delete, Home, End and the insertion point movement keys Block (highlight) text, and Cut, Copy and Paste, Create and place on the Desktop a shortcut to a file, folder or program

A comprehensive list of the basic Windows skills is available at the enrolling desk on Club Meeting days or at other times from the Club room.

Without these skills students compromise the tutor’s time and disadvantage the second student.

We are always looking for new tutors...interested ????

Are you reasonable confident with the basic Windows skills?

Could you volunteer a couple of hours one morning or afternoon a week?

Then please nominate to join the ranks of the tutors.

You will have the satisfaction of seeing people gaining confidence with their computer. You will meet very nice people. You will also learn a lot about computers yourself. There will be Train the Tutor sessions available and you would never be left to fend for yourself as all your fellow tutors are always only too willing to assist with any problems that might occur.
