Uncomfortable with computers? Never really had to use them until now? We all had to start from the basics when learning how to use them, and just because you’re a little behind in that race doesn’t mean you can’t catch up.

This course is for real beginners, and teaches the core skills you’ll need to start using computers in a business environment. You’ll learn why your computer works the way it does and what you can ask it to do for you, as well as the basics of using the Internet. We’ll take you through all the computer terms you’ll encounter in plain English, with plenty of examples, so you’ll be ready to learn all the things your job is coming to require.

Course Prerequisite: None.
