Description

It’s meant to be informative, fun, and relaxed. (Students who have macOS Sierra (10.12) and macOS High Sierra (10.13) will find this course still relevant. The fundamentals really never change, so come on in. 😉 
This course is for those who are new to Apple computers. Whether you’re transitioning from Windows, or you’ve just purchased a Mac for the first time, this course is built solely for you, the new Mac user.

In short, this course will be like sitting down with a friend who gently guides and teaches you everything you need to know about your Mac. I loved taking care of people and their Macs while at Apple HQ, so you’ll get nothing less here at Udemy.
