Community Education - Technology Training
When you are busy and distracted much of the time, you’re not inclined or able to do a lot of background reading and training. But with every field of technology, continued education and training become even more important to keep up with changes in both hardware and software. When it comes to Technology, knowledge is power!
We completed our two classes at Santa Fe College's - Community Education in September 2017, but this does not mean education and training is over. Keeping active with technology and training is very important, and if you need individual and direct support with your home and office equipment, Digital Circus can help with both large and small needs.
