The RDCA will be offering a number of computer training sessions at the end of April and in May. Each set of sessions will address a particular set of topics and a number of small group/individual clinic style sessions will also be available. Sessions will be held in both the afternoons and evenings.

The RDCA will supply a small number of computers for use at the sessions, but if you have a laptop it would be useful if you could bring it along.
