What our Clients Says
My son really enjoyed the camp. The first hour he did typing which he really enjoyed and was really beneficial to him in school.
He loved created his own comic strip and avatar. He got to send emails, create word processing and presentation slides. He also learnt about storing documents in the cloud. He even managed to learn how to code! This is an excellent camp and would highly recommend this.
It’s going to be a huge benefit to Tom to learn touch typing when he starts Secondary School next year. We’re really proud of what he has achieved. Tom really learnt a lot on the Searsol Computer camps and made him more confident of making the step up from primary to Secondary school. He is well positioned to use his laptop in Secondary school and has gained vital computers skills that will help him through school.
Of all the ways in which we have tried to help David learning to typing with Searsol, it has been by far the most beneficial. For the first time David can express himself in his own words using a laptop at school. The Searsol Computer Camp has help David with his typing skills but also how to create word processing documents and presentation slides. He also really enjoyed the creative stuff at the last hour and created his own avatar, birthday card and comic strip. I would highly recommend the camp to any Parent that wants to give their child excellent computer skills.

As a parent I am very happy with the progress my son has made by using the Searsol computer Camp. The camp gave him targets to reach and improved his concentration in doing so.

He also learnt a lot other computer skills, such as word processing, presentation slides which he can use his typing skills to create projects in school.
