Web Based Computer Training for the Adult Learner

GetyourITstart is dedicated to providing custom, high quality computer training to individuals and businesses.

My background includes over eight years in the field of information technology as both a supervisor and an employee. I know firsthand what skills employers are looking for in IT job applicants, and I incorporate them into your training.

While developing software applications I often came into contact with customers with little or no technical experience. It was my job to help them understand the process and ensure their applications matched their expectations. This kind of experience is very useful when you are helping individuals and business get the technical training they desire.

Experience has shown me that when processing information certain tasks are frequently repeated. These tasks are fundamental and once mastered they can be applied to almost everything you are asked to do, whether it be working on a database, spreadsheet or webpage.

These tasks are the ©Seven Essential Skill Sets I have incorporated into the training process; they will save you time and money as you master the essentials. Learning my ©Seven Essential Skill Sets will help you put your training to work almost immediately.

Working in the field of information technology is my second career. Previously I worked in state government and supervised departments such as Accounting, Maintenance, and Food Service. During this time I made it a point to learn how to use the software that processes information. I designed, developed, and implemented databases and spreadsheets to handle department-specific needs. I gained valuable experience building applications from the ground up.

I have an undergraduate and a graduate degree and am familiar with the formal education process of colleges and universities. I have sat through many computer classes offered by ‘Institutes’ and other local companies set up to offer computer training. Frequently the audience left disappointed with little more understanding of the subject than they brought in with them. Your learning experience will not be a repeat of those classes.

As a veteran of the United States Air Force I appreciate those who have served their country and now face the challenge of ‘reintegrating’ back into the civilian world.

Our training is geared toward the adult learner. Adult learners like me want hands-on experience. They learn best by watching how something is done, then practicing it for themselves. We train using real world examples and every customer gets personalized hands-on learning experience.

GetyourITstart uses technology that allows you to take your computer courses online in the privacy of your own home or anywhere you have a computer. All classes are live and interactive with plenty of opportunities to ask questions. You will work at your pace, not the instructor’s. We will work with you every step of the way and you will succeed.
