Would you like your middle or high school student to be more prepared for creating research papers as well as other school assignments? Or, how about being more prepared to use software for the business world? Would you like them to be able to walk into the workforce comfortable using Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint as well as the most popular software program used in business today...Microsoft Excel?
Did you know that no matter what path your high school student takes...college, office position, or production job...they will need to be familiar with using these products? It's true! Almost all jobs today require some kind of knowledge of Microsoft Office products.
Would you like a 36-week/36-module (180 lessons) full-academic-year online class that teaches students how to use these Microsoft Office products? Would you want them to be able to do the class at their pace and completely on their own? If this sounds like the class you're looking for, you've come to the right place.
