Description

Whether you are new to MAC computers, or have been using your Mac for a while but could use a refresh, this series of workshops will give you a chance to explore the capabilities of your computer and get started at using it more productively.

We have tried to make these session as “hands on” as possible so you will have a chance to experiment. Mac proficient mentors will be in the classroom to help you along the way. And, of course, more help is always available by dropping in to work with one of our Mac qualified monitors after the class.

In the first workshop in this series we will start from the very basics just to make sure we are all familiar with the terms, concepts and tools in the world of Mac.
