Hands-on Mac training

Your Mac can do more. So can you.

Small, hands-on sessions that turn the Mac you already own into the fastest tool you have. Bring your Mac, leave with it set up, and get hours back every week.

Join the club
  • Bring your own Mac
  • Small groups
  • In person or live online

Courses

A small workshop seen from behind the participants: each person works on their own laptop while the instructor points at one screen.

Why it works

Real work, on your own Mac.

  • Hands on, not slides.

    You do every step on your own Mac while we're in the room.

  • Your work, not a demo.

    We set it up around the email, files and apps you actually use.

  • Leave with it running.

    Every session ends with at least one thing working that saves you time tomorrow.

Courses

Seven sessions, beginner to advanced.
