We run a number of courses in the Farm Computer Centre for total beginners and for people with a bit more experience. All classes have a maximum of 13 people and are taught by a tutor and usually at least one volunteer assistant. The courses take place in a friendly, supportive, and informal atmosphere with an emphasis on enjoying learning.

If you enrol on our courses you get free use of the Farm Computer Centre during the Open Access sessions so there is plenty of opportunity to practise and experiment.

Contact us if you have any additional support needs and we will do our very best to accommodate you.

For enquiries and enrolments call the Farm reception on: 0117 963 3252.
