macOS Course at Home, at Your Own Pace
The Mac can make many things easier once you know how it works. In our macOS course we show you, right at your home, how to use the Finder, find files again, install programs and make proper use of the system settings. Calmly, with your own devices and explained as often as you like. The single on-site course starts from 79 €.
Many people own a Mac but use only a small part of its possibilities. Perhaps you switched from Windows and have not quite found your way around yet, or the Mac was a gift and sits a little untouched on the desk. This is exactly where we from Technik daheim come in. In our macOS course you learn on your own device how to use the Mac confidently, without jargon and without pressure. We come to your home, follow your pace and explain every step until it truly sticks. In the end you should feel at home with your Mac and be able to use it independently in everyday life.
How We Structure Your macOS Course
What You Learn in Our macOS Course
We tailor the course entirely to you. Some people want to understand the basics first, others have a concrete goal, such as sorting photos or mastering the switch from Windows. In the first conversation we find out where you stand and put the content together accordingly. The following topics are the most common building blocks, combinable to suit your needs.
Desktop, Dock and menu bar
We give you a calm overview: where do I find what, how do I open and close programs, what do the symbols at the top and bottom of the screen mean.
Finder and files
Create, rename, move and above all find files and folders again. With search and tags you keep an overview even over the years.
System settings
Connect Wi-Fi, enlarge text, adjust brightness, sound and the mouse pointer. This way the Mac truly becomes your Mac and is pleasant to use.
Install programs
Download, set up and remove apps from the App Store. We explain how you recognise trustworthy programs and what is better avoided.
Photos, Mail and Safari
Import and sort photos, write emails safely and browse the internet. The most important everyday programs, explained step by step.
Practical tricks
Keyboard shortcuts, Spotlight search, several windows side by side and quickly backing up important files. Small tricks that save a lot of time every day.
From Switching Over to Confident Use
A Good Start After Switching From Windows, Too
Anyone switching to the Mac from another system often looks for familiar buttons and paths at first, which are named differently or located elsewhere. This is exactly the bridge we build together. We compare what you already know with how the Mac solves it and translate the terms for you. This way you do not have to relearn everything but build on your knowledge. That takes away much of the initial uncertainty and makes the switch noticeably more pleasant.
- Where is the file explorer? We show you the Finder
- Use right-click, copy and paste confidently on the Mac
- Transfer data from the old device to the Mac
- Find programs that handle your usual tasks
For beginners and seniors
We take our time, speak without jargon and repeat as often as feels right for you. No one has to be embarrassed, every question is welcome.
For switchers
Coming from another system? We translate the familiar into the world of the Mac so you can quickly work productively and confidently again.
Security from the start
Updates, passwords and a sensible backup are part of it. We show how to protect your Mac and your data without it becoming complicated.
Explained patiently
You set the pace. We take breaks, go through things several times and are glad when the famous aha moment arrives.
For iPhone and iPad too
How a Course Appointment Works at Your Home
So you know what to expect, here is the typical flow. We always work on your own Mac, because practising on someone else's device does little for everyday life. This way you learn exactly the paths you will take every day later on.
Briefly discuss what you want
At the start we clarify where you stand and what you wish from the Mac. You name your questions, and together we decide what to begin with.
