Office applications - like Word, Excel, Outlook, ect...
- I would recommend "Intro
to Microsoft Office 2000"
If you want to just start learning the newest versions
of Word or Excel - I would recommend:
"Microsoft
Word 2003 Series"
"Microsoft
Excel 2003 Series"

Are these courses instructor-led?
No, our online computer courses are designed
in a self-study format, so you can learn at your own
pace. Take courses from your home and/or office. So
once you’ve enrolled, as long as there is Internet
access, you can start learning at anytime.
Personalized support is only a mouse click

can interact with one of our mentoring service experts,
whenever additional help is needed. Get answers to any
questions you have, anytime of day or night.
With 150 courses in our course library you can take
as many courses as you like or repeat a course as often
as you like. You control your own learning pace. Start
and stop wherever you want and go as quickly as you
like - it doesn’t matter, because you’re in
complete control.
Do I need to purchase the software program that
I want to learn (i.e. Word, Excel, Access etc...)?
No. Our unique task-based simulations, allow you to
play with the software within the confines of the course.
With our free and widely used Macromedia Flash plug-in
you'll be all set to run and learn from the simulations.
There are many practice exercises with each
course to help you master your skills.

Do
