No Spies. No Snoops. No Chance.
Digital Safety for the Modern Neanderthal.
You’ll learn how to spot scams, dodge shady traps, protect your files and your peace of mind, lock down your passwords, and keep your private info truly private
.
You’ll also discover how to secure your smartphone, PC or laptop, instant messaging apps, and social media accounts — step by step.
We break down all the essentials — no jargon, no long-winded lectures — just clear, bite-sized lessons you can actually use to stay safe in the digital jungle.
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 technology 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 technology 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 Digital Safety & Privacy course is priced with South Africans in mind — because, let’s be honest, our economy’s gone a bit… prehistoric. 🦖
Heads up though: If you’re not a South African — well, lucky you, it’s basically a bargain!
We might adjust pricing later for different regions (gotta keep the lights on) — but for now, you’re scoring local rates.
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!

Absolutely!
Once you’ve paid, you can dive into the Digital Safety & Privacy course from anywhere — whether you’re connecting from a village in KwaZulu-Natal, streaming lessons from a rainy London flat, hustling on your laptop in a buzzing Nairobi co-working space, or soaking it all in from your PJs in a tiny Swiss Alpine village.
Just connect. Learn. Lock them out!

We stand by the quality of what we teach — and we’re pretty sure you’ll feel safer and smarter from lesson one.

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)
