Hi Pradeep Kapoor, vidya lakshmi and others, is there any short term course in computer training for those who are working as teachers and for students during summer vacations. last year one such short term course was conducted by enabled india. as a matter of fact the people like me are able to work on computer only by the grace of enabled india. otherwise i was not at all knowing the a b c of computer. thanks to enabled india. i want to know do they have any such plan for this year also? so that i can join and learn some thing more instead off wasting summer holidays. if any other n.g.o comes farward to offer short term training then also it is ok. regards Dattu Agarwal

We have developed two modules for teaching basic computer skills. One, is executed 6 hours a day for three months, six days a week & the other for 2 hours per day for five months, six days a week. So why should you have 6-8 months? Further, we developed multiple tests during these modules. Tests, as you are aware, are crucial for assimilation of knowlege. Further, our criteria is - a working knowlege of English, typing speed of 25 words per minute & have passed std 6. We have easily handled students with a rural background & most students had been motivated enough to brush aside the difficulties of hearing an american accent while they could barely speak the language. The course content includes office management skills. The results have been very encouraging. Your prerequisites are tougher & the course longer. Would you like to review these requirements ? Could you also please send your postal address? with best wishes yours sincerely Col P Kapoor General Secy.
