Windows Training

Level One Classes

Navigating and using Windows XP effectively will require both practice and patience. We can get you started with a short familiarization session designed for beginners. The class is one session, two hours long and covers only the basics. You will learn to hook up the computer, boot it and navigate the desk top. We will discuss basic computer terminology and will cover the following topics: 

  • Hardware vs. software
  • Basic Navigation of the desktop
  • Task Bar and Start Menu
  • How to load programs
  • How to save and retrieve data
  • How to maintain your computer
  • How to create folders
  • How to create shortcut

(Please note that this course does not cover Internet and email topics. Those items are covered in the intermediate class). If you are interested in a ground level class to get you started, then this is the class for you. COST: $59.95
 

Level Two Classes

For those who feel they need more, we offer intermediate training for Windows XP. The intermediate course consists of two sessions, 90 minutes each. This training is not an overview. It is a comprehensive look at the Microsoft Windows XP operating system. This course concentrates on the following:

  • Becoming familiar with/changing settings in the control panel
  • Adding/removing software items/titles
  • How to schedule tasks
  • How to check device properties
  • How to find conflicts and change device properties settings
  • Connecting to the Internet using Microsoft's web browser, Internet Explorer (IE)
  • How to use and configure Internet Explorer
  • How to use and configure Microsoft's email program, Outlook Express
  • How to log onto a network and access/transfer files via the network

If you have difficulty using the mouse, identifying icons and their use or understanding computer terminology, then we suggest you do not start with this class. Take the familiarization class first and then practice a while. You will get more out of this class if you have a working knowledge of the desktop and proficient use of the mouse. COST: $119.95
 

Level Three Classes

Once you have mastered Windows XP, you may opt for Tech Computer's highest level of training. This class teaches you how to effectively maintain your computer system. This course will give you a head start on how to install and configure hardware, resolve conflicts, set up a network and fix some of the most common problems that occur in Windows. Again, we must stress that this class is not for beginners. This is a very technical, hands-on class which requires you to have an in-depth knowledge of the operating system and the ability to be able to identify computer components as well as being familiar with their properties.
