New SCIP Training Courses
As hard times start to bite for us all, we're going back to what established SCIP as pioneers of IT support and training for the community all those years ago: low cost jargon-free training. Our Cunning Tips and Back to Basics courses are small group sessions that focus only on what you need to know to give the everyday IT skills you need. We are running a series of courses based on your feedback and enquiries. They are all being run by SCIP tutors and trainers and will take place in the Conference Room at Community Base, which has access and facilities for all.
