Taxi Staff Learn I.T.

PRLog (Press Release) – May 21, 2008 – The courses were fully funded by the Learning Skills Council and delivered by MGTS associate Deby Homer at their Gulson Road premises.  The programme ran from January 2007 to March 2008 and offered employees basic, intermediate and advanced levels of learning.  The programme covered Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel as well as an introduction to PC’s that included basic maintenance, file and desktop management, internet access and e-mail.
