Introduction to Google Apps course

Google Apps requires a Google Account which comes with 15Gb cloud storage and includes Chrome (web browser), email, contacts, docs (word processor), sheets (spreadsheet), calendar, photos, sites (create and maintain your own website).

This course is applicable to Windows, iOS and Android users. We will have assistants for all three (iOS, Windows and Android) available to assist during the session. There will be two assistants plus the course leader available to assist participants.
