At Edinburgh Computing we ensure that lessons and tutorials are tailored to each individual’s needs and so proceed at an appropriate level and a suitable speed.
The focus is on learning-by-doing (kinesthetic learning) this means that there won’t be long lists of instructions or slide-shows.
A dedicated trainer will work alongside each client giving guidance and examples, while encouraging interaction to reinforce the material being taught.
