Online training available at home for Consumers and Business across EMEA Bracknell, UK, 3rd June 2005- Customers across Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) in need of enhancing or learning new IT skills can now do so easily, quickly and cheaply, thanks to Dell.

In response to demand from customers to help them get the most out of their technology, DellTM is providing effective and comprehensive online and instructor-led courses at an affordable price, building the professional and social skills customers need in order to maximise potential. Packages offered range from learning more about PC Applications and operating systems to finance management and personal development, to learning how to edit digital photography. Package prices start from £9.99 inc VAT and are available across EMEA immediately.

Customers will find the courses extremely flexible as they can be taken in the comfort of their own home or even while travelling, for example at an airport. The various training packages can be taken over a different period of time to suit the customer's schedule. For example, if someone is working full-time and also has a family, they might like to spread out their course over a period of a year. A person who is retired might be able to complete their chosen course within a month. As the training modules can be taken at home, no travel expenses will be incurred.

"Keeping up-to-date with IT software packages like Microsoft® Word and Excel is important to get ahead in work-life, however other things like learning how to surf the Internet or upload images from digital cameras to PCs are just as important but on a more social level," commented Tony Reilly, Head of Communications, Dell Services, Dell(tm) EMEA. "Learning how to email, for example, can really help grandparents keep in touch with grandchildren and learning about security on the Internet helps parents ensure their kids are kept safe whilst surfing."
