Mac Training – new series starts June 1st 2011
Have you switched to Mac, or just got your first one? I can make it all make sense to you and get you up and running. I can come to you if you're in Auckland, and if you're not, why not book a skype session? $50 for 30 minutes, followed by free email follow-up.
The Grey Lynn sessions — If you prefer more affordable training in a sociable group environment, all of the Grey Lynn sessions last one hour minimum. They take place at Grey Lynn Community Centre, 510 Richmond Rd Grey Lynn, Auckland, with ample parking close to the North Western Motorway (Western Springs turnoff). They take place upstairs (head to the right) in the Balcony Room, beginning 7:30pm on a week night.
The sessions are inclusive and friendly, and discussion is open.
For just $40 per person per session ($30 per person per session for students and beneficiaries) you get in-depth training from introductory to Mac OS X tips and power tricks, covering photography, music, multimedia, the iApps and more. Pay for four sessions at once for a 10% discount – that comes to $144 instead of $160 (or $108 for beneficiaries instead of $120). All prices include GST.Do them all or pick your topic.
[A new series for 2012 has been booked, starting Wednesday 22nd February, from 7:30pm in the Oval room (first right after entering the front door). Enquiries are welcome). You don't need to do every session; you can drop in, drop out to cover what you need.]
