Improve your computer skills for free
Did you know, at your local Ara community computing hub you can gain computer skills for work, study and everyday life and it won’t cost you a cent!
It’s easy too. You can learn at your own pace and at times that fit around work, family and other commitments. If you’re working, you could even arrange with your employer to study during work time, as part of your professional development.
Courses include beginner, intermediate and advanced-level study in Word, Excel and Powerpoint. You can also learn how to touch-type, use the internet or make a website.
Ara’s friendly tutors will help you gain the skills you need to improve your job opportunities, become more productive at work or just get the most out of all the digital tools available to us these days.
There are five Computing For Free hubs in Christchurch and one each in Timaru and Oamaru. To get started, simply drop into your nearest hub (for locations see
ara.ac.nz/computing) or call 0800 24 24 76.
