If you have taken computer courses before, you know what it is like to learn a technique in a classroom only to find that it has slipped your mind once you are in front of your own computer. At Blue Sky Tech, we understand that training is only useful if you retain what you have learned. New abilities enter our memory in three ways – through what we see, through what we hear, and through “body memory”. This last form of memory associates learned facts with slight changes in our movements or positions and with spatial relationships. It is critically important in remembering computer skills. We teach you new shortcuts and strategies on the computer you use most often, taking maximum advantage of “body memory” cues by using a familiar setting that will remind you of what you have learned.

Although you can expect to learn faster and to remember more of what you learn when you explore new skills in a tailored one-on-one teaching session, you may want to take part in group training instead and learn with a coworker, friend, or spouse. Learning as a group is especially beneficial for staff members in order to ensure that everyone will use workplace systems effectively.

Blue Sky Tech will provide instruction in the programs or techniques you wish in almost any location or situation. If you do not yet have access to the software you want to learn, you can be trained in it at our office. A British Columbia Certified Teacher who is also a Microsoft Certified Professional and Systems Engineer oversees all of our training sessions. John has 15 years of continuous experience in teaching computer skills at all levels in business, high school, university, and home situations.
