VGCC schedules pair of Computer classes

Vance-Granville Community College is currently registering students for two popular computer continuing education courses starting in late June on the college’s Main Campus in Vance County.

 

The “Beginner’s Guide to Computers & Internet: Windows 7” is scheduled for Tuesday evenings from 6 until 10 p.m., June 25 through Aug. 6. 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.

 

A course on the Microsoft Word and Excel 2010 software is scheduled for Thursdays from 9 a.m. until 1 p.m., June 27 through Aug. 8. 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.

 

For either 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.

 

VGCC Occupational Extension Computer Center coordinator Laura Peace is the instructor for both courses. For more information and to register for any computer courses, call Peace at (252) 738-3417 .
