BeginnersAdultsCurious minds
You were sold computers. No one taught you to understand them.
Computing is everywhere. In your pockets, on your desks, in your homes. Yet who really explained to you how it all works?
Neither school, nor work, nor brands. This training exists to fix that. Not to make you experts. But so you're no longer at the mercy of technology. So every click becomes a choice. So frustration gives way to understanding. Here, we start from zero, progress at your pace, and never leave you behind.
Introduction to computing
Computing didn't fall from the sky. It has a history, a logic, a vocabulary. Everything that should have been explained to you long ago. This module lays the foundations. We demystify, clarify, give meaning. Never to feel lost in front of a screen again.
Operating system and navigation
Mac, Windows, Linux. Three worlds, one logic to understand. An operating system isn't just an interface. It's the conductor of your machine. Here, we learn to master it, organize it, make it work for you. Not the other way around.
Office tools and productivity
Word, Excel, PowerPoint. We think we know them. But how much time is wasted doing manually what could be automated? This module saves you hours. We discover alternatives, compare, choose knowingly. Because the right tool is the one that suits you.
Internet and secure browsing
The Internet isn't magic. It's a network, with its roads, rules, and shadow zones. Deep Web, Dark Web, indexing. We talk about it without drama, but without naivety. This module teaches you to browse with open eyes. To recognize traps. To protect what matters.
Email and digital communication
An email is a postcard. Anyone can read it along the way. That, no one told you. This module explores communication tools, from classic email to encrypted messaging. We compare, understand the stakes, choose how (and with whom) we really want to communicate.
Data storage and backup
Your photos, documents, memories. Everything can disappear with one click. This module teaches you to protect what matters. Cloud or local? Free or paid? We weigh the pros and cons. We set up backups that actually work. Without panic, without regret.
Cybersecurity and data protection
The weak link is often the human. Phishing, malware, scams. Attacks are designed to exploit our trust. This module teaches you to recognize them before it's too late. Passwords, VPN, updates. We go from theory to practice. So security becomes a reflex, not a constraint.
Computer hardware and peripherals
What's hiding in that box? Processor, memory, storage. We open the hood, understand the roles. We connect a printer without panicking. We maintain our machine so it lasts. Because understanding your hardware means stopping being at its mercy.
Problem solving and computer maintenance
A black screen. An error message. Panic. What if you knew what to do? This module gives you the reflexes. Diagnose, search, solve. We learn not to fear problems. Because most have simple solutions, when you know where to look.
Mobile apps and connected device management
Your smartphone knows more about you than your loved ones. Free apps that cost you dearly. Connected objects that spy on you. This module teaches you to regain control. Which apps to install, which to avoid. How to sync without exposing everything. How to choose a device without falling for marketing.
