All prospective students stated that they wanted to learn
basic computing skills (they had plenty of other ones already)
but their main concern was “not to go too fast!”.
Quaytech Training, part of Nisus Scotland, obliged by designing
and delivering a basic Introduction to Computing course, slowly
but surely. At the end of the 6 week block feedback was extremely positive
with all 12
trainees deciding they wanted to continue learning more! They
then contracted Quaytech to deliver a further 6 weeks’ training
to carry on building their IT
knowledge and confidence.
Quaytech Training offers a bespoke training service where
course content can be tailored to your organisation’s
particular preferences. Courses can be delivered at our premises
in Leith or on site at the place of your choosing.
