Many adults are seeking to become competent users of information and communication technology (ICT). Their reasons are often related to helping their children, gaining or holding employment or the fear that they are being left behind. Often they approach their first session anxious and lacking confidence in their ability to learn about new technology. It is vital to overcome these doubts and fears in order to help them to achieve their goals.

It is aimed at ICT tutors and their managers who are undertaking or planning learning programmes. It covers both the initial event and subsequent sessions including working on an outreach basis. The emphasis is on developing confidence and providing a sound initial learning programme which will provide a foundation for further study. It covers planning and undertaking different types of events as well as teaching techniques and advice on how to achieve successful sessions.
