Frequently Asked Questions About the Club Services

Membership is intended for persons over 55 years of age who have retired from full-time participation in the workforce.

We aim to provide tuition on a one-to-one basis. We understand the needs of seniors to learn about computers in an environment where they are free to ask questions and review and practice at their own pace.

In some instances, where requested, we will conduct sessions on a one-to-two basis or for small groups.

We endeavour to provide members with the opportunity to develop and improve their computer skills, in a non­threatening and friendly environment.

In addition to the courses, the benefits of membership are:

• Support with your “Special Projects” via your network of members
