Computer Maintenance & Repair

Aim

Computer Maintenance & Repair Technician course aims to enable participants to diagnose and repair system level faults in computer-based systems at the foundation level.

Duration and Schedule

The course runs over 5 days… The next course commences on Saturday 5th October at 10.00 am.

A payment of £65 secures your place on your chosen course. The balance of the course fees of £600 can be paid shortly before course commencement.

Online Virtual Classroom – how it works?

The course will be delivered through blended training consisting of 5 virtual classroom 6-hour sessions with assessments and examinations taking place on the 5th day.

During the Online Virtual Classroom sessions, trainees will have a live video feed with their instructor talking to them, doing practical live demonstrations and involving trainees actively in the learning.

In preparation for this, we plan to have a quick informal online meeting a few days before course commencement for about an hour just to make sure that people get connected properly, let you know what the online virtual classroom will be like and go through any questions you may have. To join the virtual sessions, you will need a PC/Laptop or Tablet with an internet connection. Joining instructions (login IDs, etc) will be sent before the Informal Induction session.
