INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS

Learn everything you need to know about working on your personal computer.

This program focuses on the new user. If you've never touched a computer or used a mouse, our instructors will provide exceptional, hands-on training and guidance in exploring the world of technology.

Training sessions with our consultants and subject matter experts include customized documentation, i.e., step-by-step training literature, quick reference guides and electronic practice files on CD. With your first appointment, SMEs Inc. will develop a computer based training (CBT) session on specific topic(s) of your choice at no additional cost.

Please note that this is an overview of course modules. SMEs Inc. will add or remove topics based on your specific requirements.
