Do any classes require previous training or experience?
All classes require Windows knowledge. We recommend taking our Introduction to Windows class before any other class if you have not used Windows for three months or more.

Some classes (especially the technical classes) have specific prerequisites. Please refer to the description of the class on this website or call us for prerequisites.

What if I take a one-day class and don't learn everything I need to know?
You can repeat any non-technical class once within six months of the date you first take it. This can be helpful to reinforce what you have learned. You may also want to enroll in the next level of the subject. For instance, if you have take Introduction to Microsoft Word, you may want to enroll in Intermediate Microsoft Word.

If I take this class, and then I want to sign up for a program, do I have to pay for this class again as part of the program? You can apply the fee you have paid for one class towards the total fee for a program.

Is there a suggested order in which to take certain classes?
The Introduction to PC's class, Introduction to Windows class and the Introduction to Microsoft Word class are recommended to be taken (in that order) before any other classes, if you do not have experience with personal computers.

After those three classes, most other classes can be taken in any order you choose. Introductory classes are recommended before taking Intermediate classes in the same subject.
