Computer Studies

Every student in the College has the opportunity to take Computer Studies and become computer literate. With the College's Computer Laboratory having twenty-two networked computer systems, students' skills improve rapidly as there is hands-on experience at every lesson. additionally, the College's NEPA power supply is backed up with a 10kVA generator so that lessons still continue even if there is interruption to the mains electricity supply.

With the computers networked, it is possible for the teacher to demonstrate from the 'master' server computer system to the class sitting at the twenty-one student computer systems. Students can then use the network to download the appropriate practical exercises from the server.

The College course teaches several software packages including:

1. Microsoft Word
2. Microsoft Excel
3. Microsoft Access Database
4. Corel Draw
5. Principles of internet & email

Additionally, the students also learn about basic computer hardware.
