A Few Words from Our Learners
“This (course) was the answer to my prayers. I knew nothing about computers. I was never able to use my degrees (outdated now) because of my inability to use a computer.”
-Eve Rafuse
“I can now operate a computer which is a blessing, because I was completely computer illiterate. Now I can search the Internet, email, and job search, etc.”
-Dale Dennison
“I truly enjoyed taking the Basic Computer course. I learned that a computer can be the best information at the touch of a button. It helped me learn how to sign up for my own Outlook account, save files, and go online to search for a new job. I have more confidence in using my home computer now. The class was small and more personal. Our teacher was very helpful and willing to answer any questions we had.”
-Candy Rediker
