Led by volunteer lead instructor, Vicky Edwards, Literacy Volunteers-Winchester Area offers an Introduction to Computer Class and classes in Microsoft Word and Excel. Classes are available to those with limited funds that cannot afford to pay for adult education classes. The curriculum is geared for individuals that have little or no computer experience.
Classroom sessions are two and a half hours each. Classes last either 15 or 20 hours depending on the class. A certificate of completion is issued to individuals that attend all classes. With each hour of class attended, students earn free computer usage time at the Literacy Volunteers office suite.
Classes are held at the Our Health Complex Computer Lab at 301 North Cameron Street, Winchester, VA., in the same building as the Literacy office. Typically, classes are held in the evening from 6-8:30 PM.
Each class is focused on assisting the student gain or improve computer skills for the workplace.
