Does this sound familiar?

It's a lovely phone. Nobody gave you the manual.

"I only really use it for calls and photos."

"Someone said 'just swipe up' — up from where?"

"It keeps asking me for a password I don't remember setting."

"My photos are on here somewhere, and also in a cloud?"

"I'm afraid I'll press something and lose everything."

"The grandkids set it up. I've been guessing ever since."

Here's the part nobody says out loud: none of that means you're bad with technology. Apple hid a lot of very clever things behind small taps and swipes, and then handed you the box. You don't need to be technical. You need someone to show you, once, in plain English.

Picture this instead

Picking up your iPad and simply knowing.

  • You open your iPad and know exactly where to go — no hunting, no guessing.
  • You make the text bigger so it's easier to read, and you're not afraid you've broken something.
  • You take a photo on Monday and send it to your family on Tuesday, first try.
  • A video call with the grandkids starts, and instead of panic, you think: I know what this is.
  • You go a whole month without calling anyone for help — because you didn't need to.

Introducing

Apple Devices Made Easy

A complete, beginner-friendly course that teaches you your iPhone and iPad in the order a person actually learns it — starting with the very basics.

It's built for the person who was handed a new iPhone or iPad and told "you'll figure it out." Short lessons, in plain English, each one building on the last. No technical background needed. Nothing assumed.

It's $97, once — not a subscription, not a class you have to keep up with. You go at your own speed. Stop in the middle of a lesson, make a cup of coffee, come back tomorrow — it waits for you. And when you forget how to do something three months from now (everyone does), you come back and watch that one part again.

It is not a pile of tips. It's one organized path from "this is the button that does that" all the way to "I know how to keep this thing safe and running." By the end, your iPhone/iPad stops being a mystery and starts being a tool you own.

Still growing

What you see is just the beginning.

As Apple updates your devices and technology keeps moving, new lessons get added — and because your access is for life, everything added later is already yours at no extra cost.

So think of this as a sneak peek at a course that keeps growing. And if there's something you were hoping to learn that isn't covered yet, the feedback form at the end is how it gets added.

Take Me Through the Course

Why not just look it up?

You can. Here's what usually happens.

Searching Google

The answers are written for people who already know the words. And it's hard to search for something when you don't know what it's called.

Random YouTube videos

Good videos exist. But they're out of order, half of them are for a different model or an older system, and you're left stitching together a course by yourself.

Apple's help pages

Accurate and complete — and written for technicians. Three sentences in, you're reading about something you never asked about.

Asking family

They fix it in thirty seconds, too fast to follow. The problem is solved, but you didn't learn it — so next time, you call again.

The organized path

Apple Devices Made Easy

One path, in order, in plain English — built for exactly where you're starting. Nothing skipped, nothing assumed, and it's yours to come back to should you forget.

Those other resources aren't bad. They're just not a course. For $97 you get the organized version, built for you. This is the one organized path made for everyday people, not technicians.

Who's teaching you

Hi, I'm Jolene.

"I've spent years answering the exact questions you're probably asking right now."

I run FTS Computer Repair in Florence, Oregon, and I've been serving this community for more than 10 years. I have 25+ years of experience in technology and have been teaching for 10+ years.

But the part of this job I love has nothing to do with the technical side. It's helping someone go from uneasy to comfortable — taking the stress and the second-guessing out of picking up their phone or tablet, and replacing it with oh, I can do that.

Some of my favorite moments are when a customer who came in worried about breaking something leaves actually excited about what their iPhone/iPad can do for them. That's the whole job, as far as I'm concerned.

That's what this course is. Me, explaining the iPhone and iPad the way I'd explain it if I were sitting right beside you — without the jargon, and without ever making you feel silly for asking.

The benefits of a course

All the benefits of a one-on-one session — in the comfort of your own home.

I've done a lot of one-on-one tutoring over the years, and I still do. But there are a few things a course does better than an hour in the shop.

Nothing is rushed

In a session, the clock is running. Here there isn't one. Stop in the middle of a step, make a cup of coffee, come back tomorrow. The lesson waits.

A little at a time

An hour of tutoring is a lot to take in at once. The course breaks it into short lessons, so you're only ever holding one idea at a time.

Forgot it? Go straight back

Taking notes is great — but a note can't show you the screen. If you can't remember it in March, open that lesson again and watch it happen.

The why, not just the where

I don't only point at a button. You learn what it does and why it sits where it does — so the next unfamiliar screen isn't a dead end.

Repetition builds muscle memory

Doing something once while I watch isn't the same as doing it five times yourself. Repeat any lesson as often as you like, until your hands just know it.

No extra charge, ever

More tutoring means booking and paying for another session. The course is one payment, and you can go through the whole thing as many times as you want.

None of this replaces sitting down together. If you're local to Florence and you'd rather learn in person, I still do one-on-one sessions — book at ftscomputerrepair.com. The course just means you don't have to book one every time you forget something.

Let's be honest

Is this course for you?

This is for you if…

  • ✓You just got a new iPhone or iPad and everything feels unfamiliar
  • ✓You've had yours for a while but only use a fraction of what it can do
  • ✓You're tired of looking up every little thing
  • ✓Technology makes you a bit nervous and you'd like that to stop
  • ✓You want it explained without the jargon
  • ✓You'd like to stop asking your kids for help every time

This probably isn't for you if…

  • —You're already comfortable with your iPhone/iPad and just want advanced tricks
  • —You need help with one specific broken thing right now — that's a repair, not a course. Book an appointment at www.ftscomputerrepair.com instead.
  • —You're on Android or Windows with no iPhone or iPad. This one is Apple devices only.

Before you decide

Questions people ask

Is this really for beginners?

Yes — and I mean truly from the beginning. I've worked with seniors who had never felt comfortable with technology, and with people of every age and skill level in between. So the course starts where most courses don't: with the very basics of your iPhone and iPad — the buttons, the settings, the everyday taps and swipes — before moving on to anything fancy. Nothing is assumed, and nothing is skipped.

What if I'm terrible with technology?

Then you're exactly who this was made for. “Terrible with technology” almost always means “nobody ever explained it in a way that made sense.” You'll go one small step at a time, and you can repeat any step as often as you want.

Do I need an iPhone or iPad already?

Yes — you'll want an iPhone or iPad to follow along on (the course covers both). Any recent model works, and you don't need the newest one. Not sure if yours qualifies? Email me at info@ftscomputerrepair.com and I'll tell you straight.

Can I go at my own pace?

Completely. There's no schedule and no class time. Do one lesson a week, or one a day, or take a month off in the middle — it's waiting whenever you come back.

How long do I have access?

Lifetime access. It's a one-time payment, and you get the updates for life — so when Apple updates your devices, your course changes with them.

Can I watch the lessons more than once?

As many times as you like. Most people do — that's the whole point of having it instead of asking someone. Come back in six months when you've forgotten how to do something, and it's still there.

What if my screen looks a little different from yours?

That's normal. Apple updates change small things from one version to the next, and everyone sets their device up slightly differently. The course teaches you where to look and why, so you can find it even when a button has moved or been renamed.

Do I have to buy any other software?

No. Everything covered uses what already comes with your iPhone and iPad.

What happens right after I buy?

You'll receive an email with a link to create your account. Once your payment is confirmed, access is granted within 24 hours — then you simply sign in and start with the first lesson.

What if it isn't right for me?

Because this is a digital product, there are no refunds once access has been granted. So have a good look at everything described above before you buy — and if you're unsure whether it's right for you, email me at info@ftscomputerrepair.com and I'll tell you straight.

Can I get help if I get stuck?

Yes. The course is built so you can work through it on your own, but you're not on your own. If you'd like more hands-on help, one-on-one support and in-store tutoring are available if you're local to Florence, Oregon — book an appointment at www.ftscomputerrepair.com. If you're outside the area, email me at info@ftscomputerrepair.com or text (541) 590-2474 for phone support.

Your iPhone/iPad. Finally makes sense.

You don't need to become a technology expert. You don't need to learn everything. You just need to feel comfortable using the devices already in your hands.

That's a few easy lessons away — $97, one time, and it's yours from then on.
