Vance-Granville Community College is currently registering students for two popular computer courses being offered on the college’s Main Campus in Vance County.
The “Beginner’s Guide to Computers & Internet” class is scheduled for Tuesday evenings from 6 until 10 p.m., Feb. 21 through March 27. Novice students will get an introduction to the common components and many uses of personal computers through the Windows environment. Students will also learn effective ways to make the most of the Internet in their daily lives through the use of common search tools.
A course on the Microsoft Word and Excel 2007 software is scheduled for Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., Feb. 23 through March 29. Students will familiarize themselves with the popular word processing and spreadsheet programs. Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel are two of the most widely used software programs in the workforce today. Knowledge of these programs is frequently listed as a requirement in job postings.
Both courses are taught by Laura Peace, the coordinator of the VGCC Occupational Extension Computer Center.
For each course, the registration fee is $65, with other college fees totaling $6. Registration fees are waived for N.C. resident seniors, ages 65 and above, for one course per semester.
For more information and to register for any computer courses, call VGCC at (252) 738-3417 or (252) 738-3324.
