Essential IT
Target of these sessions:
To develop essential IT skills, we will use Microsoft Word,
Excel, PowerPoint, Internet and Email.


IT training is very expensive and time consuming, so time is
money in today’s business, so if you can show to the potential
employer that you have attended and completed successfully
essential IT courses and hence have gained Basic IT skills that
will be very favourable to the potential employer and could make a
big difference in getting a job.

So let’s get started, there are five exercises and I would like you to
at least complete three exercises and if we have time we can look
at the other two as well. Good Luck! If you get stuck please ask!

P.s. The Essential IT workbook is already in your portfolio

start before these sessions begin then please feel free.
