Would you like your high school student to be more prepared for the business world?

Would you like them to be able to walk into the workplace comfortable using one of the most popular software programs used in business today...Microsoft Word?

Would you like them to know how to create functional and dynamic documents, research papers, and resumes?

If you said yes to any of the above, you're in the right place!

Did you know that no matter what path your student takes...college, trade school, office position, or production job...they need to be familiar with at least one of the Microsoft Office products? It's true!

This program includes:

  • Ten weekly online instructor-led classes with daily assignments between each weekly session.
  • (Recordings available in the event of their absence or if they opt to do the class self-paced.)
  • Downloadable and printable weekly assignments, study guide, study guide answer pages, and eBooks.
  • Online automatically graded quizzes and tests

How Long Does The Course Run?

The course runs from September through November and includes 10 modules of content. In other words, ten weeks containing five daily lessons each.

Students meet with their teacher once a week for ten sessions. Between sessions, students complete daily assignments.

Here are the class dates and times of the instructor-led sessions.

How Many Credits Is The Class Worth?

The class provides a lot of content and can be assigned as either a half-credit or full-credit hour class, and as the parent, you can determine the number of credits your child is to receive.

What Version Of Microsoft Office Will Be Used?

This class is specifically for PCs using Microsoft Windows. The instructor will be using Microsoft Office 2016. However, for the student success, it is recommended students use the same version or higher. However, those with any version Microsoft Office 2007 and above will work. Please note, this class does not teach Microsoft Word for the Mac or iPad.

How Long Do Students Have Access To The Overall Program?

Students have 18 months of access to all the content within the eLearning program. This allows students to continue the learning even after the live instructor-led sessions have ended. This way, if students want to slow the learning process, they'll still have access even after the instructor-led sessions have ended.

What Happens If My Child Misses Class or Gets Behind Schedule?

The program is flexible and students have options. We always encourage students to jump into class at every available opportunity, but students can also complete the program as a self-paced course.
