What previous attendees thought…
“I enjoyed the course very much. It was relaxed and friendly and I learned a lot about what my smartphone can do which I have already put into practise! I hope to do another course with Lucy in the future” Anita Skipper
“My daughters told me to go on this course as I take lots of photos, and I went mainly to prove to them that I knew everything. Well, I was so wrong! Such an interesting morning and we all learnt so much. Lucy was a great teacher and managed us all with huge patience. I am certain we all left with a much improved understanding of our phones and their extraordinary abilities. Well worth it. Tim Webster
