Why Learn Computer Skills Today?
Computers, tablets, and smartphones are everywhere. Today, many tasks — whether personal, social, or administrative — require basic digital skills. From sending emails to browsing the internet, there’s no reason to feel left behind. Learning these skills brings confidence, independence, and connection with family and friends.
Knowing how to set up, adjust, and use your computer, smartphone, or even your tablet is more than necessary. At a time when all user manuals are available online, many people are not comfortable with these new technologies, which require being self-taught to learn how they work.
On Premiers Clics, you will find all the resources you need to learn at your own pace how to use these new technologies: how to copy and paste, create folders, connect a Wi-Fi printer, protect your PC, send emails and attachments, use the internet, as well as how to set up a smartphone or a tablet, change the screen sleep timeout, scan documents… and much more!

Learning to Troubleshoot My Phone and Tablet
Smartphones and tablets now play a central role in our daily lives. They not only allow us to make calls, but also to send messages, share photos, browse the Internet, check emails, use useful apps, manage accounts, complete online administrative tasks, book medical appointments, video chat with loved ones, or enjoy entertainment such as games, music, videos, and reading.
These mobile devices have become truly versatile tools, essential for staying connected, informed, and independent. Yet, despite their obvious usefulness, they remain difficult to understand for many people—especially beginners, seniors, adults less familiar with technology, or anyone who has just acquired their first smartphone or tablet. The reality is simple: when you buy a new phone or tablet, no user manual is provided. That’s why Premiers Clics offers everything you need to learn how to use a phone, as well as a computer (online computer courses for seniors and beginners).
This section is dedicated to solving the main problems encountered on phones and tablets. To make the most of your device, you can also explore courses and tutorials on how to use a phone effectively.
