Computer Basics · Laxmi Nagar
For people who have never used a computer and are tired of being spoken to as though they should already know. Taught in Hindi and English at the Shakarpur centre, minutes from Laxmi Nagar metro.
This course starts at the power button and it means it.
That matters because the most common thing people from this area tell us is not that computers are difficult. It is that the last place they tried assumed they already knew something — how to double-click, what a folder is, where a file goes — and moved on before they could ask.
Nobody here will do that. Questions that feel obvious are the ones the first fortnight exists for.
A wider range than any other course we run.
Shopkeepers whose suppliers have moved to online ordering. Homemakers returning to work after a long gap. People in their forties and fifties whose job has suddenly acquired a computer. Parents who want to stop asking their children to fill forms for them.
The mix is genuinely mixed, which is worth knowing if you are worried about being the only person in the room who has not done this before.
A large part of what makes this course useful in a market area is the last section.
UPI and online payment, recognising a fraudulent message, understanding what an OTP is and why nobody legitimate asks for it, and setting up two-factor authentication on your own accounts before you leave. Digital fraud in this belt is common and specific, and the defence is knowing the pattern rather than avoiding the technology.
S-551, School Block, Nehru Enclave, Shakarpur — walking distance from Laxmi Nagar metro, near Bharat Gas Godown and Hillman Public School.
From the market most people take an e-rickshaw, which is quicker than the metro over that distance. Bring nothing; machines are provided and there is no requirement to own one.
Tell us what you actually need to do.
Sometimes the honest answer is that you need three specific things — email, a government portal, and safe payments — and not a full course. We would rather have that conversation than enrol you on something longer than the problem.
Full syllabus, module list, projects and fees are on the course page. Nothing about it changes by locality — the batches run at Shakarpur.
A real beginner course for adults who have used a phone but never a computer for work — files, Windows, internet, email, typing and staying safe online, taught without assumption.
Questions
Yes, in whichever mix of Hindi and English the batch is comfortable with, and Hindi typing is included. Nobody should be held back on basic computer literacy by the language of instruction, and in this area a good share of learners are more comfortable in Hindi.
Almost certainly not. This particular course draws a wide age range — shopkeepers, homemakers returning to work, people whose job has suddenly gone digital. It is the one course here where being older is completely unremarkable, and the pace assumes nobody has done this before.
Walking distance. The centre is at S-551, School Block, Nehru Enclave, Shakarpur, near Bharat Gas Godown and Hillman Public School. If you are coming from the market side, an e-rickshaw takes a few minutes and most learners do that rather than walk.
Use Windows and files without hesitation, write and print a document, build a simple spreadsheet, use email and search, fill an online form, and make a digital payment safely. That is a genuine independence threshold rather than a certificate, and it is what two months buys.
