Master the PC with Namcol Namcol is offering affordable basic computer literacy programmes customised to fit many pockets and skill sets, according to its marketing officer, Freddy Kaukungua.
The courses are easy to follow and provide a solid foundation for computer-shy individuals.
“This is a short, easy-to-master course on basic computer skills. Our goal is to give you a solid foundation. Once you have understood these basics, you will have a clear understanding on which to build your future knowledge of and skill with computers and the internet. This course is divided into four separate modules and includes the introduction to computers, e-mail skills, word processing and Excel skills,” says Kaukungua. Upon completion of the Introduction to Computers course, students should be able to identify computer components, successfully log on, log off, shut down and restart a computer and effectively use a mouse to click, double-click scroll and highlight.
The Microsoft Office course, on the other hand, empowers students to close and save Word documents as well as to change the location of an existing file, understand the use of the ribbon, know when to use the cut, copy, paste and paste special functions, as well as built-in functions to enhance productivity.
“This is just but many of the skills computer enthusiasts will learn apart from the many courses on offer,” said Kaukungwa.
“It means having some sort of level of comfort around computers rather than a look of fear and a feeling of foreboding. It will give you a good kick-start into entering any job, since computer skills are a basic demand in the workplace,” says Kaukungua.
The Basic Computer Literacy Course is open to anyone who would like to obtain knowledge in basic computer usage. No previous experience in the use of computers and application software is required.
He encourages interested participants to register for the course in droves.
“Registration may take place any time of the year. The duration of the course is two to three months. You will receive a certificate upon completion of the full course.”
