    WORD PROCESSING/DATABASE/SPREADSHEET AND POWERPOINT EXAMINATION COURSES

    A maximum of five students are taken on these courses leading to City & Guilds Qualifications examinations at Essential (Level 1), Intermediate (Level 2) and Advanced / Professional levels. These courses are taken in one week (15 or 18 hours) with the examination on the Friday afternoon. The course is "tutor-led" and a great deal of individual help and advice is given.

    Word Processing Courses require a good standard of typing. We recommend our Copy Typing Course for non-typists. However, if you are unsure of your ability we can give you a free assessment to determine your level.
