In September 2000, as part of the establishment of a resource centre for the village, a computer classroom was created at 21 Main Street. The classroom has 10 networked computers loaded with Microsoft Office software and Internet access via an ISDN line. The room also has scanner, printer and teaching aids such as an overhead projector, flipchart and whiteboards.
Courses are free to people in receipt of benefit.
Since September over 60 local people have received training at the centre. Although one of the Trust workers will be on hand during the daytime opening hours, it is stressed that they can provide only limited assistance. Learn Direct LearnDirect is a national initiative which aims to get people learning online, using the internet. There are hundreds of courses on offer ranging from basic introductory courses in computing to more advanced courses in business and finance. LearnDirect courses allow you to learn where and when you want - and at your own pace.
