Almost every entry-level job in South Africa now expects you to use a computer, send email, and apply online — admin, retail, call centres and government posts all test it. This course teaches the real skills, on a real screen: finding your way around a computer, saving and attaching files, typing a document, writing email that gets a reply, staying safe from scams, and applying for jobs online from a phone or an internet café. No fancy words, no theory — just what an employer actually checks. Everything here can be practised on a shared machine, a library PC or a cheap smartphone.
