VGCC Upgrades Computer Classes At Franklin County Campus

Vance-Granville Community College has upgraded its Microsoft Office programs to the 2000 version in the Computer Center at its Franklin County Campus. 

Upgraded Word, Excel, Access and Power Point classes will be taught, beginning after Labor Day. In addition, a longer, 60-hour class has been added that incorporates all four Microsoft Office programs. “This should be attractive to persons who want to learn to integrate the four programs,” said Ann Behar, coordinator of VGCC’s Computer Extension Program. 

The Franklin County Campus will offer six computer extension classes during the day, 12 in the evenings and two on weekends. In addition to Office, these include Internet, word processing and introduction to computers. Also, VGCC offers 84 computer classes that can be taken online from the student’s home or office. 

All the VGCC computer classes qualify the participant for continuing education units in technology, something that teachers in particular need, Behar said. 

Interested persons may pick up a copy of the Computer Center Fall 2000 schedule from the Franklin County Campus on N.C. 56 west of Louisburg or call (252) 492-2061, ext. 3437, to have one mailed to them. The schedule is also posted on the VGCC web site at www.vgcc.edu.
