General Questions
& Answers
Where to start?
Little
or no computer experience, start with
What you CAN do with computers!
We strongly recommend
Microsoft Windows Basic before taking any
of the MS Office or Internet classes. This course will
give you a solid understanding of the concepts necessary to be
successful in the applications courses; such as, MS Word,
Access, Excel and PowerPoint.
Online Classes. Online
courses are offered in partnership with
Ed2Go and are another way to meet the unique scheduling needs of busy
people.
Customized Corporate Training.
We also offer customized courses during the day in our
new corporate training lab. If interested in scheduling a class for
your organization, click here.
Prerequisites. Almost
all classes have a prerequisite. It might be a certain
skill level or a complete course. If you have little or no
computer background, we recommend you complete all the
prerequisites for the course. If you have previous
computer experience and want to jump right in, go ahead!
College Credit or Non Credit?
All
of the classes listed on this site are non-credit. What does this mean? No grades! Which means no quizzes or exams!
It also means that you don't have to apply for admission to the college.
Just stop by the registration desk on the second floor of Student
Union East to register, or you can mail or fax your registration
card to us (see below Registration Information).
But I need college credit! If you need college credit
for your degree program or continuing professional education (engineers,
CPAs, etc.), never fear! The GCCC Business and Technology Divisions offer a wide variety of 1-3 credit
hour courses that may satisfy your
requirements. All the Microsoft Office classes are available, as are many
other topics. Review the current semester's
Schedule
of Classes, or contact the Business Division at 850-872-3839 or the
Technology Division at
850-872-3876.
