WHERE YOU ARE

We could go on! Along with the benefits of using a computer, come the frustrations too.

We can assist “remotely” by connecting to your computer over the internet.

Book a session and we will phone you at the pre-arranged time to guide you through the steps necessary for us to connect to your computer.

It’s easy to use. We will guide you until connected. Thereafter, we’re sitting at your computer with you, “virtually” and can assist as necessary. We’ll show you what to do, where possible, rather than just provide a “quick fix”. So it’s learning as well as support.

It’s effective and good value. We have supported a number of customers this way. If it turns out that we can’t help online and an actual visit is required, the remote support fee will be waived.

Book a “remote support slot” and you could be back on track within 20 minutes or so.

What customers say about our 1:1 computer help

I never knew you could get so much information from a tablet. I have found it of great benefit being able to email my son in Australia. I feel more in contact with people because of this.

Betty70+

Helpful space to work on emails and web. Assistance when needed. All in pleasant surroundings.

Lee70 +

The internet is great for shopping and you can get the supermarkets to deliver your weekly shop!

David70+

I am so pleased you made me persevere to learn how to use an iPad I love using it especially now that I cannot write very well.
