Computer Literacy Training in South Africa - Basic computer literacy courses

2KO is a specialist IT training company. Our specialist skills are in training people for new careers. Our passion is for people and this passion spills over into our basic computer literacy training courses which we deliver in South Africa. Computer literacy is critical in the new South Africa, where people come from backgrounds and schooling which did not afford them the opportunities to get to grips with computer technology. 2KO aims to change that through our computer literacy training program. We also offer Adult Basic Education Training (ABET) to upgrade literacy and numeracy amongst the adult population in South Africa.
