Computer Help Desk
Help Desk Services - Instruction - Extensive Experience
Personalized Help
We provide personal help with computer software and hardware issues by telephone, e-mail or on-site (Greater Victoria only). Help is available at distance via telephone or e-mail.
Software & Hardware Issues
We can help you to resolve problems with your computer whether it be instruction on how to accomplish a particular task or help troubleshooting unusual behaviour.
On-site Help
If the issue cannot be resolved over the phone, we offer on-site assistance.
Instruction
One-on-one tutoring
We also offer training with your computer and your software. Your special learning requirements and topics can be accommodated.
Most people have an idea about what they wish to accomplish with a new computer or software program. They just need someone to show them the basics and perhaps a few specific techniques to enable them to get the most of their investment.
Learn Principals
It is often better to learn a few principals so you can deal with unanticipated circumstances on your own. Spending the time to master a few key concepts now will enable you to progress faster later.
