STILL HAVE QUESTIONS?
The TECH UP Course from Modern Neanderthal will teach you to Master Computers & Technology Fast!
You’ll finally understand how your PC works, what all the techy bits actually do, and how to make smart choices — whether for work or home.
We’ll cover everything from speeding up a slow laptop (without violence), choosing the right printer, and protecting your privacy online — to using Word, Excel, and Email like an actual adult.
You’ll also learn how to spot problems before they become disasters, how to avoid wasting money on the wrong tech, and how to feel calm (even confident!) using everyday tools in the modern office.
Plus, we’ll throw in loads of shortcuts, tips, and Neanderthal-friendly hacks to help you work smarter — not harder.
Yes! If you choose to take the test at the end of the course and pass, you’ll receive a certificate of completion.
It won’t count for university credits or formal qualifications — but it’s still something to be proud of.
You can include it in your CV, show it off in job applications, or just brag to your friends and family (we fully support that part 😄).
Because hey — learning how to use tech with confidence is a big deal. And you deserve recognition for it!
Not much! All you need is:
✅ A device with internet access — this course is mobile-friendly, but we do recommend using a laptop or desktop with a mouse and a decent-sized screen if possible. It just makes life easier.
✅ A willingness to learn — that’s the real secret sauce.
Whether you’re in intermediary school, retired, running a business, or just trying to catch up with the grand-kids — this course is made for you.
No tech background? No problem.
No fancy words. No pressure.
Just practical, step-by-step learning that anyone can follow — even on a phone!
There are 14 main lessons, plus a few bonus ones tossed in for fun (because learning should never be boring).
You can go entirely at your own pace. Some of our students finish in a few weeks, others take a couple of months — it all depends on how much time you set aside and whether you're practising in between.
No pressure. No rush. Just progress.
The final test is completely optional, but if you're feeling brave (and a little clever), we say go for it!
The full Tech Up! course is priced with South Africans in mind — because, let’s be honest, our economy’s gone a bit… prehistoric. 🦖
But good news travels far and wide — so if you’re tuning in from anywhere else on this spinning rock, you’re welcome too! Right now, everyone pays the same South African-friendly price — so it’s basically a bargain for the rest of the world.
In the future, we might add local pricing for other countries, but for now? Grab the deal while it’s still a steal.
We accept payments securely through Systeme.io, which supports credit/debit cards and PayPal — making checkout quick and easy.
We also run special promos and discounts from time to time, so keep an eye out for those!
Got a promo code? Make sure to use it before it expires — don’t let it turn to digital dust!
Yes! Once you’ve paid, you can access the Tech Up! course from anywhere in the world — whether you’re at home, sipping coffee in a café in Paris, or relaxing on a beach in the Seychelles.
Please note that course pricing and promotions are currently set for South African learners only.
If you’re outside South Africa and interested, drop us a line — we’ll gladly offer options priced in your local currency to help you get started.
🔄 Refund Policy
We want you to love the course! If you’re not happy within the first 7 days after purchase, just get in touch and we’ll gladly arrange a refund — no hassles, no hard feelings.
After 7 days, refunds aren’t available because by then you’ll have access to all the goodies.
Absolutely! We encourage you to try, try, and try again — this really is the best way to learn.
But if you’re truly stuck and need extra help, one of our tutors can assist you remotely. They’ll guide you step by step on how to allow us secure access to your device, and once connected, we’ll help you get back on track.
Simply use the Comments section inside the course to request help if you’re really in a pinch.
If you’re having trouble with your computer or laptop and things just aren’t working, don’t worry — Modern Neanderthal has partnered with the trusted tech team at RCS911.com to offer you a FREE remote diagnosis (because we love our students!).
A tutor will then advise you on what needs to be done to resolve the issue so you can keep learning with confidence.

Testimonials from some of our students:
Thabo N., Retired Headmaster
Modern Neanderthal gave me the confidence to buy my own laptop and use it to talk to my children overseas. I learned more in a few weeks than I did in years of struggling alone. It’s the best practical computer course — even if you’re older like me! I recommend it to all teachers and high school students who maybe never got the chance to learn computer and office skills properly.
Mnr Koosie V., Bokboer
Ek het nooit gedink ek sal ooit die verskil tussen hardeware en sagteware verstaan nie — ek wou net hê my skootrekenaar moet werk sodat ek my bokke en plaasdinge kan byhou. Hierdie kursus is ’n lewensredder vir ouens soos ek wat nie slim is met rekenaars nie. Dit spaar my geld en ritte dorp toe elke keer as iets verkeerd gaan. Ek het sommer my twee plaaswerkers ook ingeskryf — beste belegging wat ek nog hierdie jaar op die plaas gemaak het. As jou Engels min of meer reg is, kan jy dié kursus ook doen.
Lerato P., Homeschooling Busy Parent
TECH UP gave me the confidence to move my kids out of a school where they were unhappy and start homeschooling them. Now my kids are learning so much more AND I know how to protect my family from online threats. It’s practical, clear, and weirdly fun — I must say I laughed at Zach’s antics!
My youngest even joined in on some of my lessons and now wants his own laptop! 5 Stars from me!
Linda A. M., Business Owner
A friend recommended the Modern Neanderthal course when I kept complaining about my computer freezing and running slow — I honestly thought I was doing something wrong! I learned my hardware just wasn’t up to handling Windows 11 properly. Thanks to this course, I knew exactly what to ask our computer company to upgrade on our four office computers. I even made the bold decision to switch completely to LINUX — since our accounting system is online, it was an easy choice. Now my small accounting & admin business runs more smoothly, my staff work more efficiently, and our older computers are faster than ever — all without breaking the bank on new machines. Highly recommend!
Hendrik S., Store Manager
A few years ago, I was just packing stock on the shelves at an agricultural chemical supplier — I’m in my 50s and had never used a computer before. My boss saw potential in me and put me on the TECH UP – Modern Neanderthal course. I got promoted to Store Manager with a better salary to support my family.
When I saw the old laptop he gave me was too slow, I could explain what was needed — and he upgraded it for me! I even bought my daughter a laptop and put her on the course too. When she matriculated, she got an office job and now has a bright future.
I’m so thankful for the chance my boss gave me. If I can do it, anyone can.
Sipho M., Grade 7 Student
Our school had a competition for the brightest kids and I was one of the top students who got picked to do the TECH UP Course. I even won a tablet! It was so cool — I learned so much about computers and how to use them properly. Now I want to become a computer genius when I grow up!
My friends have started bringing their broken laptops and computers to me for me to fix. LoL ;0)
