John, Thanks for all the help, patience and repetition in certain topics covered in the course. I enjoyed the content and the way it was delivered, it was tailored to suit a varied degree of competency which is important in a large class, personally I enjoyed learning in this environment, in a relaxed manner and John your patience is unending....Thank you and I will defenitely be hoping to complete another course.

This was the first time i have returnd to a classroom since the 1980's.
I was a bit nervous about taking on a FETAC LEVEL 3 COMPUTER
LITERACY COURSE at my age.Dont let the name scare you.
John ( the tutor) is the most helpful and patient tutor you will ever meet. The classmates come in all shapes and sizes, but by helping each other we all got there in the end.I would definately recommend this course to anyone wanting to learn about computers. Cant wait for September for Level 4.

Hello John, i was just putting my folder away and came across a note i
made during the Input/Output class. I noticed a few in the class had a problem telling the difference. Here's how i remembered them. Please dont post this as it will make me look like a smart-ass, but i hope it might help someone else to remember them.
1) Printer > print's OUT
2) Speakers > speak OUT
3) Keyboard > you type IN
4) Scanner > you scan IN
5) Mouse pointer > mouse po IN ter
6) Mointer screen > scream OUT.

Hope you might be able to use one or two of these in you classes,
see you in september.

I just finished Computer Literacy Level 3 today 29 Jan 2013. I enjoyed every part of the course and found it very informative. John is an excellent teacher with great knowledge and patience. I looked forward to my class every week and meeting my new classmates. The CDP is a lovely centre with friendly staff and always so clean. I look forward to starting my new class in the coming weeks.

Thank you John for a very enjoyable course. I really looked forward to coming in every Tuesday. It is great to be able to save data and to be able to use a memory stick. I never felt that I could not ask for help. You have been blessed with patience! I look forward to the next course and hope that most of our group go forward.

Before I started this course I had limited sketchy information on how to do things...sending emails surfing the net and often got into difficulty and didnt know how to rectify things....,,now with all the mistakes made in the class and the discovery of the escape button and lots of information and guidance from John I feel more confident and I am looking forward to the next course.
