There is a wide variety of continuing education format computer classes available from keyboard familiarization to advanced use of WORD, and Internet skills. These classes are scheduled evenings or Saturdays at the CVCC Hickory campus and at the Alexander Center. Computrain offers one-day workshop format classes during the week. These intense, one-day workshops are specially designed to meet the ever changing needs of local business and industry.
