Free IT training for Corby residents at Tresham College's new Willow Place centre

Free IT skills training is now available in the heart of Corby town centre as Tresham College has found a permament home for their learning centre in George Street.

Part of The Bedford College Group, Tresham College will offer beginners basic IT skills training, and allow others to gain employer-recognised qualifications as they improve on their 'self-taught' talents.

The Learning Centre was temporarily run at the Tresham College site in Oakley Road, whilst trying to secure a town centre setting, and complements the learning centre in Newland Street in Kettering.

Jas Khabra, lead trainer, said: "We’re now thrilled to be in the heart of the community of Corby where we can help anyone of any age get on the basic IT training ladder.

"From complete beginners to those who want to upgrade skills for employment or promotion, all are welcome.

“Since the Covid-19 crisis many have had to use technology more than ever before and actually need it to access many services. We are here to help them master the machines in a friendly fashion.”

As long as you can commit to four hours study each week, either in the centres or at home, then all training is absolutely free.

Both centres are subject to social distancing and other Government regulations. They maintain the highest standards of cleanliness with keyboards and equipment being sanitised between sessions.
