Purpose of this Class

        Employers, colleges and Universities now understand that exposure to computers does not equal understanding computers.  So now, more than ever, basic computer and Internet skills are being considered prerequisites for employment and higher education.  This class will prepare you to take the IC3 certification test.  What is IC3 Certification?   IC3, or the Internet and Computing Core Certification Program, is a global training and certification program providing proof to the world that you are:

bulletEquipped with the needed computer skills to excel in a digital world.
bulletCapable of using a broad range of computer technology - from basic hardware and    software, to operating systems, applications and the Internet.
bullet Ready for what the work employers, colleges and universities want to throw your way.         

        By passing the three IC3 exams, you have initiated yourself into today's digital world.  You have also given yourself a globally accepted and validated credential that provides the proof employers or higher education institutions need.
