The use of computers has become part of the everyday life of all people; therefore, the ability
to use computer skills & applications efficiently is very beneficial. The earlier students begin
using the appropriate keyboarding techniques and software applications, the more proficient
they will become on the computer. At the end of the course, you will take an end-of-course test
called VoCATS (Vocational Competency Achievement Tracking System), which will assess the
skills learned in this course throughout the semester.
