FRIDAY, MAY 4: AF Smith announced its new Apple training programme.

 The Authorized Apple Reseller will kick off the series with a course on iOS 5, the latest operating platform for iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch that boasts more than 200 new features.

The training programme is open to all Apple product users, regardless of where they originally purchased their products.

Tim Smith, CEO of AF Smith, said: “We’ve had a great response since launching our Apple product ‘store-within-a-store’ last year. iLearn is the next logical step for us as it enables us to offer Apple product users a unique learning environment that will help maximize the return on their investment.”

The iOS 5 session will explore new apps and new ways to use them, as well as many of the additional features that iOS 5 offers. The course will look at some of the streamlined processes such as the Notification Centre, Newsstand and Twitter integration. In addition, participants will learn new moves and shortcuts to get around quicker and multi-task even better. The course will also delve into the upgraded camera capabilities of iOS 5.

Apple users can get more information and schedule an iLearn session online at www.afsmith.bm. Training is available in a one-on-one setting for $75 per hour or in a group session for $75 per person for two hours.
