Vance-Granville Community College is currently registering students for two popular computer continuing education courses starting in February on the college’s Main Campus in Vance County.
An evening course on the Microsoft Word and Excel 2010 software is scheduled for Tuesdays from 6 until 10 p.m., Feb. 19 through March 26. Students will familiarize themselves with the popular word processing and spreadsheet programs, which were significantly updated in their most recent versions. 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.
The “Beginner’s Guide to Computers & Internet: Windows 7” is scheduled for Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., Feb. 21 through March 28. Exploring the Windows 7 operating system, novice students will get an introduction to the common components and many uses of personal computers. Students will also learn effective ways to make the most of the Internet in their daily lives through the use of common search tools.
Laura Peace, coordinator of VGCC’s Occupational Extension Computer Center, is the instructor for both courses.
For each course, the registration fee is $65, with other college fees totaling $7. Registration fees are waived for N.C. resident seniors, ages 65 and above, for one course per semester.
