COMPUTER TRAINING COURSES in the Library Training Room S21

September-October 2005

We have arranged the next set of training courses and they will be starting from Monday 26th September onwards. They will take place in the Library Room S21 on the Stirling Campus.

Please note that as these courses are "Open" to both students and staff the booking procedure is slightly different from the "Staff Only" courses.

To reserve a place on the courses below staff should email their request to Computer Training at ctst1@stir.ac.uk

There will also be some "staff only" courses in November (Dreamweaver, Contribute etc) and these will be advertised nearer the time.

Places are limited to 15, but our experience is that some attendees do not turn up on the day and so we have a reserve list of 3 places. Those on the reserve list will be allocated a place at the start time of a course if a booked place has not been taken up. It is therefore important to arrive before the start of the session to avoid the risk of losing your place.

Staff should book a place on an “open course” by emailing Computer Training (ctst1@stir.ac.uk) with your request. (Students sign up individually on sheets in the Library)

Prior to booking a place on any of the sessions please discuss your attendance with your head of department or supervisor, as appropriate.
