Hands-On Training


Nothing beats hands-on training. Some subjects can’t be effectively learned any other way. At Computers Etc. Software Training Center, we’re proud to be “old school.” We know that hands-on training is the gold standard. We learn best by “doing” and that means working on a computer and using programs like Excel and QuickBooks in class.

Instructor-Led Courses


If you’ve ever taken a remote class, you know the instructor cannot come over to assist you when you encounter problems. In most cases, they can’t even see your computer screen. Trying to describe your problem can be difficult. Troubleshooting an issue often requires that the instructor sees what is wrong, which simply isn’t possible in an online class where the teacher is in a different city.

Classroom-Based Training


Learning a new program - Access, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, QuickBooks, or Word - is easier in a classroom format. It’s the way we learned in school, so it’s an approach that is hard-wired into our brains. Working on projects, guided by a patient, knowledgeable instructor, makes the learning process easier. You wouldn’t take an online course to learn how to drive, would you? You need to be “behind the wheel” to learn those skills, and the same goes for software training.

Class Schedule


Course run from 9AM to 4PM with a 45-minute lunch break. Each class meets once, but you may retake a course (on a space available basis). Contact us to see when we can accommodate you.

Classroom Locations


We have classrooms in Miramar and Lakeside. For directions, click this link: Classroom Locations. Free parking, restrooms, and eateries are nearby.

What Students Are Saying


“I just want to say how great the class was for me (Beginning Excel). I had known I was "falling behind" the pack for the past couple years. My computer skills were antiquated.

Your teaching method; a non-threatening atmosphere and your undying desire to help the student learn is why I'll be back to your company. I am still in denial that we learned so much in half the time the others were charging double for.”

Laura G.
 
“Doug's approach to training was easy to following and very applicable to every day use of Excel. The learning environment was comfortable and Doug was very open for questions and ensuring that all students were understanding the information as it was presented. Will definitely be taking more classes from Doug.”
