Additional elective course work is also required. The completion of the Certificate Program requires a considerable commitment in terms of time - time spent both in classes and practicing and completing projects outside of classes. Participants must have access to a personal computer at home or at work in order to practice on a regular basis what they've learned in class. Becoming proficient in computer skills requires the constant reinforcement of material presented in courses that can only be accomplished through practice. Individuals must commit to regular practice and must complete their course projects in a timely manner.
Instructors monitor students' progress based on projects and class attendance and participation.
In an effort to make course-taking as convenient as possible, many courses are offered both during the day and in the evening. Students may enroll in the Certificate Program any time during the year. To enroll, please call Patricia Carte, Computer Training Coordinator, at 743-2329 to set up an appointment. Her office is located in Washington Hall. The program must be completed in four to five consecutive semesters Students are required to practice what they learn in class and to demonstrate their proficiency levels through the completion of comprehensive course projects.
