My son, aged 12 is horrible with the computer and I would like him to learn some IT skills. Most of them basic, for example Microsoft word and power point. Any ideas on computer centers or something? Private tutors will also be fine!

Any recommendations will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Most of the computer centres here will only conduct the courses in cantonese unfortunately thus he may well encounter a problem.

Alternatively go to page one etc and buy dummies guide to... they'll help him a lot, Or if he wants some basic training then I might be able to arrange something as I'm a I.T Helpdesk analyst by trade.

Wow..... truth is I learned computers because I started playing games. However I work in the games industry so I can a bit biased. But truth is Word and Excel is boring. I've been teaching my nephew computers and I've found it easier to keep him interested if we write short stories in word or create visually fun presentations for the short stories. Even something like a comic book. I conduct training for video editing and I know training is boring boring stuff.
