Anyone seeking motivation to achieve their ambition of learning about computers should take a look at the programme of short training courses at the University of Wales, Newport.

Courses range from a complete introduction to computing for those with little or no experience, to Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint for experts, with bespoke training programmes also available upon request. The programme is specifically designed to suit the needs of business, employers and individuals by providing up-to-date and relevant study, knowledge, skills and training.

"The programme has a variety of levels to suit everybody," explained Ann Gunther of the Enterprise and Research Services. "Whether you're an employer wanting to update your employees' computing training, an employee looking to refresh your existing skills, or a job-seeker keen to enhance your CV, we have a course to suit your individual needs."

The computing courses are administered by fully-qualified and accredited trainers who all have hands-on industry experience.

"Increasing demands on company time mean that it is often difficult for employers to release staff for training," added Ann Gunther, "which is why our training is delivered over a short range of dates allowing employees to gain useful skills over a flexible period."
