Getting More from Apple iPad 

This course is aimed at those who already have a degree of confidence with Google and email (though not necessarily on an iPad) and would like to explore what the iPad can do in more depth. 

Incidentally, if you’re very new to using the Internet and email (on any device) then you may find that our Starting Off with Apple iPad & iPhone is a more suitable course for you, as we specifically teach those topics in depth to give you a solid foundation before you discover what else the iPad can do through this course. Please click this link Starting Off with Apple iPad & iPhone if you’re interested in that course. 

Course Objectives 

To give a comprehensive summary of the iPad’s features and how to get the best out of it. 

A workbook is provided explaining the topics covered and giving general information. This is yours to keep.
