This announcement is two years overdue. So I apologise to my loyal readers who have persisted in asking me about past Internet Cafe workshops. This is what you have been waiting for!
NETucation is South Africa’s leading experts on the Internet Cafe industry, and we are the only organisation to conduct training on how to set-up the Internet Cafe from scratch. These workshops are conducted only twice per annum because it is a very specialised course an curriculim we follow that is updated on annual basis to take all Internet and broadband trends into consideration.
Cybercafe workshops are design to help entrepreneurs with no knowledge of the Internet or small business enter this sector of the Internet industry.
We are proud to announce the 2010 workshop schedule in association with:

Northridge Ladies Circle (LC7) are raising funds for our Let’s Walk Fund. Funds raised from this evening will primarily be used to assist Jonathan, a 24 year old who was involved in a serious car accident in August 2010. He was in a coma for almost a month. He has spent the majority of the past few months in hospital. Recently he had a hip replacement and will require many hours of rehabilitation.
This is may be the most important march we’ve had in South Africa
