Cert in Data Entry/Microcomputer Applications

This small certificate teaches basic office technology and can later count toward a longer two-year applied arts associate degree, so it works as a starting point for further study in office work. Students take a computer fundamentals course, a keyboarding course at the beginner or intermediate level, and a business math course. Learning outcomes include using calculators and computers to solve everyday problems and combining Microsoft Office tools to share information in a clear way. A grade of at least 2.0 is expected in every class.
