PC Maintenance









I work with computers throughout the day, doing my full time job, but as opposed to simply repairing computer systems and providing all levels of technical support, this particular nightclass that I teach gives me the opportunity to pass on that help and support to others.

This particular kind of class can be challenging at times, especially when we've had workshop sessions where students have brought in various computers from home with various ailments, but on the other hand is probably my favourite out of the three classes I teach. Many people I find, are scared of computers, they dont want to do anything that will break them, so in this class I aim to eliminate peoples fears about computers and teach them all about troubleshooting, hardware and software. I have a few regulars who attend the class each term, and in general a great deal of fun is enjoyed by all, as these classes progress!
