Self-Test in Basic Computer Skills
Some of our computer training courses require that students
have basic computing skills before they can enroll. If you can confirm all of the following statements with a "yes," then you
have the requisite skills to register for a course that has a "Basic
Computer Skills" prerequisite. If you have even one "no"
response, then you should not enroll in any course that has a prerequisite.
Students who wish to gain these skills can take one of our introductory
courses. Contact Marlene
Brennan for course recommendations.
