The Potten Computer
School courses for adults and silver surfers are
comprehensive, fun and actively engaging. Lessons build up
from simpler to more challenging tasks to promote your
confidence. We use a large cross-section of computer
software to make sure you enjoy your sessions and learn as
much as possible.
Group size
There are never more than 3
students in the centre at any one time. You can choose to
work alone or in small groups, which means you benefit from
maximum teacher time.
