Computer Course Skill Levels

In order to get the most out of training, it is important to attend the course that best fits your needs. This is especially true in computer skills courses. Attending a course that is above or below your skill level will hinder your ability to learn.

To help you know which computer skills course is right for you, see the course description for prerequisite courses needed, if any. Additionally, all computer skills courses have a skill level indicated based on the scale below:

Level 1 These courses are designed for participants with little or no knowledge of the specific topic.
Level 2 Requires a general knowledge of computers and specific operating systems (e.g., Microsoft Windows).
Level 3 Participants in these sessions should have a working knowledge of, and substantial experience with, the specific applications.
Level 4 These courses are designed for the high-end software and technical user.

Computer Software Versions: All computer software courses will be taught using the latest version available. For instruction in older versions, please request a Special Session or indicate your version to the instructor so that differences can be noted in class.

Microsoft, MS, and MS-DOS are registered trademarks and Windows is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation. All other brand or product names are trademarks or registered trademarks of their respective companies.

To Be Arranged (TBA) Courses: Some courses listed in the catalog do not have session dates indicated. Dates for these courses will be arranged when enough people register for the course. The minimum number of participants needed is indicated on the course calendar by the course title.

How To Enroll in a To Be Arranged (TBA) Course: If you would like to enroll in a TBA course, simply complete the registration form as you would for other courses. Under "Date Preference," just write "TBA." Your Training Liaison will enroll you for the course and notify you when a date has been arranged.
