Vance-Granville Community College is currently registering students for a course that will teach area residents how to get the best performance out of their personal computers.
“PC Maintenance & Repair” is scheduled to be held on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 5:30 until 9:30 p.m., Sept. 6 through Nov. 29, on the college’s Main Campus in Vance County.
Mitch Evans, the Director of Infrastructure Services in the VGCC Information Technology department, is the instructor for this hands-on course. Topics covered during the course will include networking, printer sharing, file sharing, and installing add-on hardware and software. Evans will include tips on scanning and removing virus information, spyware and ad-ware. Students will completely build and assemble a PC during this class, and they will also get hands-on experience in system recovery and system restoration operations.
The registration fee for this course is $175, with other college fees totaling $7. For one course per semester, registration fees are waived for N.C. resident seniors, ages 65 and above.
