Never worked with a computer before, or would you like to refresh your basics? In this accessible course you get to grips with Windows and Office. You learn to email, browse the internet, create texts in Word and calculate in Excel. A solid basis to continue with confidence.
Description
In this course you take your first steps on the computer. In an accessible way, you learn to work with Windows and with the best-known Office programs, such as Word and Excel. You get to grips with the mouse, starting up and closing programs, and saving and moving files.
You will discover how to look up information on the internet and how to communicate by email. You will also practise writing a text in Word and making a simple calculation in Excel. Afterwards you will have a solid basis for working with a computer independently and you will know which next steps suit you.

Result
After this course you know how a computer works and you can use Windows and Office independently. You open and close programs, work smoothly with the mouse and find your way around your desktop.
You search for information on the internet, send and receive emails and know how to work safely online. In Word you draft a tidy letter or text and in Excel you make a simple calculation.
You will also be able to save, find, move, copy and paste files. You will know the main do's and don'ts and have a solid basis for developing your computer skills further, for example with a follow-up Outlook, Word or Excel course.
Target audience
Do you have little or no experience with computers and would you like to learn to work with Windows and Office? Then this course is just right for you. You lay a solid foundation in general computer skills and are well prepared if you then want to continue with a specific Office course, such as our one-day Outlook Basics course.
Teaching method
During this course you work in a small group under the guidance of an experienced trainer. You first receive a brief explanation and then immediately get to work on the computer yourself. That way you experience straight away how it works and remember it better.
The trainer walks around, looks over your shoulder and helps you personally where needed. You set your own pace and ask questions whenever something is unclear. Everything is explained step by step, without complicated jargon.
You practise with hands-on examples you will recognise from everyday life: sending an email, looking something up on the internet or typing a letter in Word. Afterwards you receive a certificate of participation and you will have a solid basis for developing your computer skills further.
Prior knowledge
No prior knowledge is required for this course. You don't need to know anything about computers, Windows or Office yet. Can you switch on a computer? Then you can take part. We really do start at the beginning and take you through it step by step.

In-company
Would you like to organise this training for a whole group or several groups? This can be cost-effective. For example, we can tailor the content entirely to your organisation, and training a whole group is also cheaper.
Are you looking at large numbers of participants or a complete academy? That involves a great deal. Consider planning and communication, for example, or identifying and agreeing the objectives and content of the training. Or differences in level, feedback mechanisms and safeguarding. Fortunately, Learnit has extensive experience in this field (more than 25 years) and we are happy to help you through this process.
Language
The training is given in Dutch as standard. The trainer has a good command of English. English-language course material can be used. With a minimum enrolment of 3 participants, the training can also be given entirely in English.
