Online Computer Training On Demand
Confidence, not confusion.
Bespoke computer and software training delivered online by Adrian Dane - nearly 20 years' experience as a Learning & Development trainer turning intimidating tech into skills you'll actually use, wherever you are in the world.
Training built around what you actually do.
Generic syllabuses teach you features. Good training teaches you outcomes. Every session is shaped around your real workflow - the spreadsheet you're stuck on, the inbox that's run away from you, the AI tool everyone keeps mentioning but no-one has explained.
All sessions are delivered online - one-to-one or small group, over screen-share. You learn from your own desk on your own machine using your actual files, and you can revisit what you've covered any time. It works just as well in Manchester as it does in Munich or Melbourne.
- Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint)
- Google Workspace (Docs, Sheets, Gmail, Calendar, Drive)
- Staying safe online - passwords, phishing, scams, two-factor auth
- Smartphone and tablet basics (iOS and Android)
- AI tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini) for everyday tasks
- Bespoke training built around your business workflow

Why online beats in-person for tech training
Sitting next to someone while they fumble around with your laptop sounds intuitive, but it's actually the worst way to learn. With online training over screen-share, you drive the mouse and keyboard the entire time - which means the muscle memory is yours, the confidence is yours, and what you've learned still works the moment the trainer logs off. Sessions can be recorded, you're using your own machine in your own setup, and there's no travel time wasted on either side.
About your trainer
Adrian Dane spent nearly two decades as a Learning & Development trainer before founding Dane Design - which means every session is built on hard-won experience of what works in adult learning. No reading from a slide deck. No "have you tried turning it off and on again." Just clear, patient explanations from someone who has trained thousands of learners on everything from basic IT to complex bespoke systems.
