Course testimonials:
- Very good keep up the help.
- I really appreciated the use of Zoom for some of the course which needed the opportunity for visual access - much better than the white board plus booklet. Thank you for the opportunity to improve my navigation of Word. I look forward to learning more about Excel and perhaps honing my touch typing!
- I am less intimidated with using a computer. I can now use my computer to achieve much more satisfaction than just playing games. I'm sorry I missed a few classes having to be "mum" to sick grandchildren at that time. Thank you to Fiona and the staff at Gunnedah Campus.
