Get Technologically Fit with Setup Sync & Learn - the Apple experts.

Get Technologically Fit with Setup Sync & Learn!

We spend time and effort trying to keep physically fit, and it does require applying ourself regularly.  Some of us prefer to have a Fitness Coach, which certainly makes it somewhat 'easier' in terms of having someone there to help drive you, with your best interest in mind, and with the knowledge and desire to help you achieve your goals.

Well...why not do the same with technology, and stay technologically fit!  Having good knowledge around technology is an essential ingredient for most of our working lives now, so why not enlist a Technology Coach to help you with your goals.

3 common scenarios where we can help:

You're a manager or executive in a business, and your falling behind with your knowledge around technology.  Struggling to apply your amazing talents and experience through the use of computers or mobile devices to execute your ideas or initiatives.  Catch up or get ahead now!  We're here to help, using everyday language and great teaching techniques, all in a private session by appointment only - for individuals or small groups, and we come to you.  Enquire here

You're a teacher/educator, or in a role where you're expected to be this for others.  Many of your colleagues or students seem to be way ahead in terms of their knowledge around using technology, and you're feeling out of your depth or being left behind.  We can help you!

You're trying to get a promotion or looking for a new job, and you know you need to brush up on your technology know-how.  We can make you more Tech-savvy!  This is what we do!
