Personal Computer Fundamentals

Computers are part of our everyday world. Those who have never used one can be intimidated. Those who use one every day have often not been provided basic instructions. In this course, we take away the fear and mystery of the PC. We introduce the parts, terminology and basic skills everyone needs to know to be comfortable using a computer in a visual, easy-to-understand way.

Want to know what the Windows operating system actually does or why you should care about RAM? How about what actually happens when you log on? With This Training, you'll master the fundamentals of the PC so you can enjoy and benefit from it without frustration or fear.
