The rapid growth of the computer and electronics industries in Virginia has resulted in a steady demand for qualified computer service technicians and electronics workers in the local area, as well as state wide. There is a need for trained personnel to meet these requirements. This certificate program is designed to meet the needs of employed persons desiring to extend their knowledge of computer and consumer electronics, as well as those who seek training to prepare for employment. I is required for this program, and students not meeting this requirement must take Math 03 or an equivalent course.
Computer literacy is required for admission to certain courses in the program.
Each applicant's computer literacy will be assessed by the program head, and additional course work, if required, will be factored into the planned course of study. Students are urged to begin their program of study during the fall semester because many courses are sequential and only offered once a year.
