Paulette, one of our students, said she enjoys the classes she’s been taking: “I come from a work environment where I use the computer every day, but I was only using the programs I needed for my job. So, there [were] a lot of programs that I did not know. This class has helped me learn a lot of new stuff, and there’s a class everyday so you can get on whenever you want!” |
