HELP is at hand for anyone wondering how to work that clever gadget that they received in their Christmas stocking.
Perhaps Santa brought a tablet, smart phone, e-reader or laptop that has rarely been out of the box because the instructions were too baffling?
The East Riding Adult Education Service may be able to offer a solution with the launch of a series of free one-day gadget workshops at adult education centres across the region.
The first workshop will be held on Saturday 26 January at the South Holderness Adult Education Centre, from 10am to 1pm.
This free session will be held with the help of funding secured from the East Riding Adult Education Service from the Skills Funding Agency as part of the new Community Learning Innovation Fund, managed by the National Institute of Adult Continuing Education. The project aims to deliver new and creative learning opportunities through a community education project.
Further gadget training workshops will be held at other centres throughout the year, so if you would like to take part then please email jayne.wilcock@eastriding.gov.uk to express your interest. The Adult Education Service will then keep you informed as to the dates, times and cost of future courses.
The East Riding Adult Education Service also offers free regular IT drop-in sessions at centres across the East Riding with a qualified tutor on hand.
The sessions are held on Mondays at South Holderness Adult Education Centre, Tuesdays at the adult education centres in Beverley, Cottingham and Goole; Wednesdays at Bridlington, Pocklington, South Holderness, Withernsea and Goole; and Thursdays at Bridlington, Goole and Hornsea. Learners can attend up to four sessions free of charge. These sessions are very popular so please ring the centre to check on times and reserve a place.
A number of other new IT courses are also starting in January, along with some more traditional courses such as needlecraft and design skills, rug making and some unusual courses including criminal psychology and criminal profiling.
If there is another course that learners would like to do, which is unavailable, the Adult Education Service would welcome suggestions, which will be used to create the new programme.
For more information, or to let the adult education team know about courses you would like to do, then please contact 01482 392818 or email adulteducation@eastriding.gov.uk.
