IWCC Continuing Education offers a variety of self directed computer courses designed for individuals seeking to gain or improve their computer skills. An Office Assistant or Administrative Assistant certificate can also be earned after completing a specified group of classes.
To enroll in classes the student will first need to complete a phone pre-screening to determine if the student has the basic computer skills necessary to take Self Directed classes. The student will then work with the Continuing Education Department to enroll and document progress of course studies. Student books will be available on the first day of class.
This program is designed for those students who have the basic computer skills necessary to complete coursework and projects independently. An instructor is present in the classroom to assist the students with questions or problems, and to help keep students on track to completion.
Each course has a specific set of objectives that students will master for course completion. Some courses have pre-requisite skills or courses that are required. Coursework is provided in the form of workbooks and hands-on projects that students work through independently. The instructor will provide a syllabus of assignments and a general work schedule for each student. Students will have the option of completing an assessment in each subject area to certify course competency attainment. Assessments may be in the form of completed projects or a posttest.
