An Introduction to IT - 4 Day Course
The modern home and workplace is filled with technology. IT applications and hardware are now common place and whilst it is a widely held belief that all people are “IT Literate”, this is not always the case.
For those people who lack confidence with IT or those who have never used a Laptop or Personal Computer before, this widely held belief can be a problem.
A lack of IT skills can lead to a general lack of confidence, particularly within a new workplace. If you are new to IT, Word Processing, Email, Internet, MS Word, MS Excel, MS Powerpoint, MS Outlook and the basic set up of a modern Computer, MC2 Training Solutions has designed a four day course for you.
This course is designed to give students a full understanding of basic IT principles and take them a step further into the fundamentals of commonly used IT Software. The course is held over four days (covering a period of 10 days to allow for practice at home) and is ideal for those students that need a general introduction to IT systems and software. It will take the student from complete novice level and improve their confidence with the most commonly used IT Hardware and Software.
