Computer Courses

Osborne Village Resource Centre offers three basic computer courses to help people develop their computer literacy.

For individuals with minimal or no computer experience, Fundamentals of Personal Computers is a good place to start. This course covers the very basics of computers, including using a mouse, and proceeds through to basic word processing, using the Internet, and finally, to email.

The next course is Basic MS Word, which builds upon Fundamentals of Personal Computers and helps to get students quite comfortable with using Microsoft Word 2000.

Our last course is Basic MS Excel, which in turn builds upon Basic MS Word. Not everybody has the need to learn Microsoft Excel 2000, but it is widely used in the working world and may be a valuable skill to pick up.

Each of these courses is $65. Fundamentals of Personal Computers and Basic MS Word each take place over 5 weeks, one night per week. Basic MS Excel takes place over 4 weeks, one night per week.

Osborne Village Resource Centre also offers One-on-One Computer Tutoring on all the topics covered in our three courses. An instructor will sit next to you at a computer at the Centre and guide you through what you would like to learn. One session lasts 1.5 hours and costs $15.

See our current calendar on our home page for the dates of the above.
