Williams Lake Campus
Continuing Studies: Computer Courses
All Computer classes are now in Live Stream format. We offer top of the line training on the most popular workplace applications. Combine a state of the art computer lab, experienced and caring instructors and a curriculum designed for the working adult and the result is a computer course where you can actually apply what you've learned each and every day. TRU Computer courses guide you step by step through work-world examples and give you the time to practice the principles of the software until you are comfortable with them. If you require access to a computer please contact us to make arrangements.
Similar to the in-class workshops, LIVE STREAM workshops are delivered using a virtual platform where the instructor is online and leads the class providing the same coverage that students would have received attending in person. The instructor provides lectures, gives students exercises to reinforce the learning, and also answers questions, elaborates on topics covered, and facilitates class discussions. Students receive all course materials before class start and are able to follow along the course delivery with their materials. Student should register at least 5 days before class start to receive course materials.
Many students really like this format. It allows participants to take the training from the comfort of their home, office, and many other locations. It eliminates the need for travel and allows them to make better use of their availability. The workshops are the same start date and duration as provided on the course page, and have am and pm breaks.
