What the college says

The emphasis of this course is about Apps that we use in a ‘typical day’ scenario, such as a day out by train, city break by car, using Google maps as Satnav, online groceries and many more!

What you need to get on

Ideally you will have attended our ""Smartphone for Beginners"" course but learners who have a good knowledge of their Smartphone and how to download & use Apps are also welcome. Learners will need to bring their fully charged smartphone with them. Please note, due to the wide range of Android smartphone devices available, not all resources and commands provided by the Tutor will exactly match each device.
