Even if you have the free time available to take a computer course, you can only learn what is included in their syllabus, which is not necessarily what you want to learn about. As these classes typically have 10-20 attendees, the instructors have to be quite general in what they teach, and you probably have some specific tasks that you want to use your computer for.

A better option is to have an I.T professional come to your home and give you one on one instruction. They can teach you about home computer installation, home computer set-up and will be able to give you home computer training. Alternatively, if you if you prefer to learn about Macs rather than Windows computers, then they can teach you about home Mac installation, home Mac set-up and will be able to give you home Mac training.

If you want to learn about the hardware and equipment, then they can teach you about that. If you want to learn about the software and how to use specific programs (such as Photoshop, Word, Excel, etc.), then they will teach you about that. Basically, whatever you want to specifically know and learn about, they can teach you.

It is not even necessary to have a computer prior to contacting them, as they will be happy advise which would be best for you based on what you intend to use it for. This can save you a lot of money as you will not end up purchasing an expensive computer packed with features that you will never use.

You can be totally at ease with the people who offer these home computer installation, home computer set-up and home computer training services because they are used to interacting with people who have little or no experience with computers. You can learn at whatever pace you feel most comfortable with. So, if you need assistance with any aspect of computing, then consider getting in contact with a home computer consultant.
