iiNet to host ‘Internet for dummies’ workshops

First two workshops already booked out with more to come throughout the year

Perth-based ISP, iiNet, has announced it will be holding educational programs to teach people basic computer and Internet skills.

The company will host two Learn with iiNet workshops at its Subiaco, Perth, headquarter each month.

Run by the ISP’s staff, the sessions will cover a variety of topics including social media etiquette, Facebook 101 and how to set up a wireless home network.

The workshops were inspired by the success of its annual Open Day, which took place October last year.

Sessions are opened to non-iiNet customers as well and people can register online to participate. The first two workshops, to take place on the January 16 and 17, have already been booked out.

Each workshop is limited to 35 people - to avoid overcrowding and ensure each attendee gets the attention they need from instructors, an iiNet spokesperson told ARN

iiNet will schedule more workshops throughout the year and the company is toying with the idea of introducing classes to other capital cities.

In other iiNet news, the company acquired South Australia-based ISP, Internode, in December last year.

Nominations for the 2012 ARN IT Industry Awards open on Tuesday, June 12.

Once again iinet leads the way in customer service. As a recent 'convert' to the iinet stable I am CONSTANTLY impressed by the level and quality of their customer service. Nothing is ever too much trouble.

No wonder they've grown to #2 so quickly.
