Begin Classes - Computer Lab

BACK to Computer Lab Courses Outline

The term 'Computer Basics' or 'Beginning Classes' does NOT imply that they are quick learning or simple.

The terms mean that these are core skills that need to be learned toward professional careers in Offices, Technology, Engineering or Programming.

These courses, classes and lesson subjects are not meant to be accomplished in one sitting. Practicing these skills as you go will reinforce the techniques and prevent hunting around for solutions to problems that pop up from lack of experience.

Take your time! Practice the skill, then move on and then keep moving.
