Our Programs
Tech Training Nowra Locals Trust
Whether you’re a senior wanting to video call the grandkids, a professional needing to understand AI tools, or a business owner protecting your team from scams — our tech training Nowra programs meet you where you are. Every session is tailored to your specific goals, delivered at your pace, on your own devices.
Senior Tech Basics
Patient, jargon-free lessons for seniors who want to stay connected. Learn to video call family, send photos, use email safely, navigate tablets and smartphones, and spot scams before they catch you. As a digital mentor with Living Connected, I’ve helped many of seniors across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven build confidence with technology — this is what I do best.
AI Literacy for Individuals
Understand what AI actually is and how to use it in your daily life. Learn to use ChatGPT, Claude, and other AI assistants for research, writing, planning, and problem-solving. We cut through the hype and show you practical applications that save time — no computer science degree required.
Business AI Implementation
Help your Shoalhaven business understand and adopt AI tools responsibly. We assess which AI solutions fit your workflow, train your team on practical usage, and establish guidelines so everyone’s confident. From automating admin tasks to enhancing customer service — we show you what’s possible without the Silicon Valley jargon.
Cybersecurity Awareness
Protect yourself and your business from scams, phishing, and online threats. Learn to recognise dangerous emails, create strong passwords, secure your accounts, and respond if something goes wrong. Our cybersecurity credentials are recognised by eBay, SAP, Deutsche Telekom, and Trend Micro — this training is backed by real expertise. Learn more at the Australian Cyber Security Centre.

Common Questions
Tech Training Questions We Answer Every Week in Nowra
“I Don’t Know Anything About Computers — Is This for Me?” — Absolutely yes. That’s the whole point. Most tech training Nowra clients start from zero or near-zero. Switching a tablet on, sending a first email, making a video call to grandkids, spotting a scam text — these are the exact things we teach. Years of volunteering as a digital mentor with Living Connected across the Illawarra and Shoalhaven means I’ve never met a client who couldn’t learn at their own pace. No question is too basic.
“What Devices Can You Teach Me to Use?” — iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets, Windows laptops and desktops, Macs, smart TVs, streaming devices (Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire Stick), and basic smart home gear like Google Home or Amazon Alexa. Tech training sessions work with whatever you’ve actually got — no need to buy anything new. If you’re thinking about buying a new device, we can help you choose before you spend money.
“What Will I Actually Learn in a Session?” — Whatever you want to learn. Popular topics include video calling family on WhatsApp, FaceTime, or Zoom, sending and receiving photos and emails, using your bank app safely, shopping online without getting scammed, using Facebook to stay in touch with friends, getting around a new phone or tablet, and spotting scam texts and phishing emails. Tell us what frustrates you about your tech and we’ll build the session around that.
“How Much Does a Tech Training Session Cost?” — $150 per hour during business hours, or $225 per hour for pre-booked after-hours sessions. Small group sessions (2 to 4 people — friends, family, or neighbours) are $200 per hour total, split between participants. Most individual sessions run 1 to 2 hours. First sessions often run the full 2 hours to cover the basics properly. No diagnostic fees, no call-out fees, no hidden extras. You pay only for actual training time.
“Will I Remember Everything You Teach Me?” — Probably not, and that’s fine. Every tech training Nowra session ends with written notes — simple step-by-step instructions in plain English so you can practise on your own afterwards. If something doesn’t stick, we’ll go over it again next session. Many clients book a second or third session a few weeks later to build on what they’ve learned. Learning tech is a marathon, not a sprint.
“Can You Teach Me About AI and ChatGPT?” — Yes. AI literacy is one of the growing training topics in Nowra — individuals wanting to understand what Claude, ChatGPT, and Google Gemini actually do, and how to use them safely for everyday tasks like writing emails, researching holidays, planning meals, or getting help with forms. For business teams wanting deeper AI adoption — automating admin, customer service templates, content generation — that’s our separate AI Consultation service.
“Can You Help Me Spot Scams?” — Yes — this is one of the most requested topics from seniors across the Shoalhaven. Scam texts, phishing emails, fake “Microsoft” or “Apple” phone calls, and dodgy websites are designed to fool anyone. Tech training covers real-world examples: what a scam looks like, the red flags to watch for, what to do if you’ve already clicked something, and how to lock down your accounts with strong passwords and multi-factor authentication. Cybersecurity credentials recognised by eBay, SAP, Deutsche Telekom, and Trend Micro back this training with genuine expertise.
“Do You Offer Group Lessons for Friends or Family?” — Yes. Small group sessions of 2 to 4 people are $200 per hour total — split between participants, that’s $50 to $100 each per hour. Friends learning together, siblings helping their parents, neighbours sharing a session — it works well because everyone asks slightly different questions and you all learn from each other. We’ll come to whoever’s home is most convenient, or a community venue if you’ve got access to one.
“Can You Train Our Staff at Work?” — Yes. Business team training covers cybersecurity awareness (recognising phishing emails, password practices, MFA setup), Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace fundamentals, new-staff onboarding, and AI tool adoption. Custom-quoted based on team size and topics — contact us for a scope and quote. Sessions are held at your business premises across Nowra, Bomaderry, Berry, and the Shoalhaven, or remotely if your team is spread across locations.
