Companies large and small choose us – why? Your own tailored, Windows 8 Training course, at your own premises at the same price as a standard course from elsewhere.

Windows 8 is the latest operating system from the Microsoft suite. It can be used in both a touch screen and a keyboard environment and is often used interchangeably depending on the device on which it is being used.

On the Windows 8 training course, we introduce you to the Windows 8 environments and will show you how to move tiles and access the Charms bar. You will learn how to search for files and apps. You will share files with others and work collaboratively.
