What
to expect when you book a computer training session |
|
You can have one-on-one
or group training,
customized to your goals and learning style. You can choose
informal "Q & A" sessions where you can ask anything you need
to
know, or take a structured course that includes a free workbook. At the
end of the structured courses, the workbook is yours to keep as a
reference tool, and you'll get a certificate to show your proficiency.
We work with all
skill levels,
from absolute
beginners to power users. Our instructors excel at
breaking down tasks into simple, step-by-step processes to make your
learning easy!

The Bright Ideas Personalized Learning Philosophy
|
|
Our mission is simple: we
want to give you the skills to be confident and productive in using
your computer.
If you feel intimidated by computers, or if you
use a
computer on a regular basis, but feel that you could be performing
tasks more quickly and easily, we are here to teach, encourage,
motivate, reassure, and instill confidence.
So you can look
forward to the sense of accomplishment you'll get when you
turn on your computer and expertly accomplish tasks that you thought
only computer gurus could do!

OK, I admit it –
I’m a geek.
A computer geek, that is, not a circus performer who bites the head off
a live chicken. (Though that would certainly liven up our
training classes!)
But wait: Once
upon a time, I was a regular human being, like you.
I didn’t know a thing about computers.
How did I learn to use the computer? Same as you.
One of my
co-workers “showed” me:
“It’s easy
– just click here and here and here and then open this menu
and
click here and then type and drag and press Tab and Ctrl-V and Ctrl-S
and print.”
What?!?!?
But gradually, I took more courses, experimented more, learned
more. Until the day I realized:
“I’m a
geek!”
But here’s the good news:
|
I remember
every frustrating failure; every
humiliating “Please, can you just show me one more
time”; every
gut-clenching “I know I should know how to do
this”. It’s good news
for you, because it means that you don’t have to go through
it!
I started Bright Ideas because
I know what it feels like to have your
trainer snatch the mouse out of your hand and
“show” you how to do it.
I remember being sure that there was an easier way, but not having time
to look it up or figure it out. And I felt intimidated in
computer
classes. Our instructors remember those feelings, too.
I love
running a training company where students beam at their instructor
after a session, with relief written all over their
faces. I’m still
startled at how many of my clients actually hug me. And the
best part
is knowing that our students aren’t suffering through days of
deadly
courses wondering “What am I doing here?”
Instead, they’re
learning relevant skills quickly and painlessly, working on their own
computers, at their own pace. Our students are in the
driver’s seat,
holding the mouse in their own hand, and feeling comfortable,
confident, and competent.
At Bright Ideas, our instructors are
teachers first, geeks second. Yes, we know our stuff
– and we can
teach it to you. We
make it easy!
