Following the Core Component are the Specialty Courses, the meat of your program. These are designed to give each student a specialty fundamental skill level.

Computer Concepts is delivered in the traditional book-learning style, with written tests for evaluation. The Windows course is evaluated using a combination of hands-on projects and online tests through our Students' Centre. We evaluate the Internet Basics course solely through automated tests at our online Students' Centre.

Each of your Specialty Courses consists of step-by-step tutorials punctuated by periodic exams and independent projects.

All independent projects are evaluated by an instructor with real-world experience, and are returned with helpful commentary that will allow you to expand your skill base.

You study at your convenience, any time and any place you wish. We provide a course outline and a flexible assignment schedule to be followed. The student practices new skills each week and is then assigned an exercise or a test to submit for evaluation.

Our seasoned instructors have developed several methods of evaluating a student's progress, including traditional written tests, hands-on projects, and step-by-step exercises, all evaluated by an individual instructor. In addition, there are online tests that give immediate results through our computer system.

As you progress through your program, we encourage exploration on your own into alternative and creative problem-solving methods. Finding different paths to solve different problems is a valuable work asset.
