A variety of courses are offered from beginning through advanced levels. Examples include basics for beginners, and popular business software classes geared toward business owners (or managers).
We also serve multimedia gurus who need to learn new skills (or sharpen old ones), as well as IT professionals looking for experience with Internet technology.
Open Computer Labs
Perfect for anyone who is just beginning to use computers, or for someone interested in learning a specific topic. Self-paced, open labs are staffed by Continuing Education instructors. There may be an occasional lecture on a specific topic, but mostly you complete exercises from tutorial books at your own pace, and the instructor will answer questions. You might be working with a word processing program, but the person next to you could be learning spreadsheets. Most students find it helpful to meet with a counselor prior to enrollment to understand your options. Contact Student Services at a campus that is convenient to you.
