Fr Vince sj

Today was concluded the last Course for Computer Beginners for the year 2009/2010. Seven persons received their Certificate of Participation for this Course. Five other courses were given during this winter season where almost fifty persons were introduced to computers and were given induction training for Word Processing, Internet, Emailing and Power Point applications.

Most of the participants have never touched a computer before and after a 10 session of 2 hours weekly they found out that they can handle these applications with enough proficiency as to feel comfortable to use it at ease.

Come September, another series of courses will be made available by PFI free of charge to those who apply for registration. Registration is open as from today, and participants will be allocated courses on first come first served basis.
