The organisation, which is a not-for-profit, is aimed at over 55s and provides basic computer training, while also giving seniors an opportunity to upgrade their skills.
According to trainer Connie Vallis, many of the people attending are already proficient in computer basics but are keen to add to their skills.
She said the list of courses was growing and now included data backup, Google Chrome, Facebook, cloud storage, password managers, printing services, smartphones, and tablets.
However, she added, fundamental courses for beginners are still available.
Mrs. Vallis said the association has been operating since 1998 when there was first an apparent demand for locally-based computer classes for seniors and adults. Classes, held by volunteers, are now run twice a week on Fridays and Tuesdays.
In addition, social support groups meet regularly at Castle Hill’s Harvey Lowe Pavilion.
Vallis said:
“Students enjoy the friendly informal social atmosphere, the diversity of the many courses available and the expert knowledge and patience of the trainers.
“Our aim is to provide low cost tuition for seniors in a friendly comfortable atmosphere to enable them to become proficient in the many facets of computing.”
She added that students’ skills varied and there were some attending who had not even touched a computer previously. Others, however, had some experience and wanted to learn more.
