Computer Skills Classes

godly enter keyIf one of your New Year’s resolutions is to gain improved computer skills, you are in luck! 

Cerro Coso Community College is offering a series of one-unit classes in Computer Keyboarding, Microsoft Word and Excel. These are the most frequently requested classes for people already working or seeking employment in an office environment.

 

Because each class is only one unit, the workload is light and manageable for a working person.  Spring semester begins January 14th and space is still available in the classes.  Each course is set to complete in only half a semester(eight weeks) and the current fee for a one-unit class at Cerro Coso is only $46.

 

All the computer classes meet at the Owens Valley Career Development Center – 2574 Diaz Lane in Bishop.
