A FREE computer course is being run to help people in east Durham find employment.

It is aimed at beginners who want to gain skills or qualifications and those who want to brush up on what they know.

It starts on Tuesday, at Seaham Library, from 9.30am to 11.30am, and at Peterlee Library, from 1pm to 3pm.

Funded by the European Social Fund and managed by Durham County Council's Skills4Life Online project, it will cover the Internet, e-mail and Word, how to compile a CV and will help people gain a Level 1 certificate in ICT.

Anyone wanting more information can call Janet Hughes on 0191-383 4943.
