Welcome to SmartCape

SmartCape is designed to help you access the internet, free of charge.

Useful resources

Introduction to coding

Skills assessment

Online study

Free Basic Computer Training

The training sessions take place over three days and last for approximately four hours. The training will help with the following:

  • Creating spreadsheets, developing your Curriculum Vitae and covering letter.
  • Basic commands such as copy and paste, highlighting text and making it bold, italic, and underlined.
  • A brief introduction to the Internet and cybersecurity risks.

We can accommodate ten participants per session and the sessions are three times a week at various venues across the City. We also provide free computer training sessions to those completing a 16-week alcohol and drug outpatient treatment programme, at a City Matrix Clinic. 

Please ask either the librarian or your clinic receptionist for more information on venues, dates and times.
