I am a tutor with Irish Rural Link and due to Covid-19 our training is now moving online.   So from the comfort of your own home you can now update your computer and internet skills for free.

The course is funded by Department of the Environment, Climate and Communications  and the following is an excerpt from the gov.ie website

The government’s Digital Skills for Citizens Scheme focuses on providing people who are not online with the opportunity to gain the basic skills and confidence to start their digital journey.

The scheme provides ten hours of free classroom training in every county.  Yes this course is FREE and you do it from the comfort of your own home

You can sign up from any county to be part of this course.

If you have broadband, a device like a phone, tablet or preferably a laptop or computer why not sign up for this course and update your knowledge of the internet and getting online.

I will provide support from the very start and our motto is ” there is no such thing as a silly question, so the more questions the better please”
