In a world where mobile phones outnumber people, it’s more important than ever to feel confident using technology. In just 6 hours, this course will help you become more independent and efficient with your devices.

You’ll start with the basics, learning to navigate computers and mobile devices, including understanding hardware, operating systems, and software.
