= Training laptops =

Recently it was determined that there should be a need to offer more formal training sessions at the Unit for staff and students. Previously, sessions had been held in the computer users room but this led to several problems including lack of space and not enough machines to go around. So to facilitate a more friendly training environment some laptops have been purchased for this very purpose.

General documentation on using the training laptops can be found on the [[http://intranet.mrc-cbu.cam.ac.uk/computing/training|intranet]].

Here, some more specific instructions about how to set up them for a hands-on session can be found:

Training laptops

Recently it was determined that there should be a need to offer more formal training sessions at the Unit for staff and students. Previously, sessions had been held in the computer users room but this led to several problems including lack of space and not enough machines to go around. So to facilitate a more friendly training environment some laptops have been purchased for this very purpose.

General documentation on using the training laptops can be found on the intranet.

Here, some more specific instructions about how to set up them for a hands-on session can be found:
