<p>It doesn’t matter if you want to build custom computers from scratch or just learn how to send an email; we’ve got you.
If you’re not as comfortable with computers as you’d like to be, our&nbsp;<a href="https://www.contracosta.edu/classes/academic-departments/computer-information-systems/computer-info-systems-courses/">Introduction to Computers</a>&nbsp;course will help get you up to speed.
We can also help experienced professionals upgrade their resumes and get more out of industry-standard software with&nbsp;<a href="https://www.contracosta.edu/classes/academic-departments/computer-information-systems/computer-info-systems-courses/">in-depth classes</a>&nbsp;in Microsoft Word, Access, and Excel. Most people who use these programs every day have no idea how powerful they really are. Learning the deeper ins and outs can put you ahead of the game.
In our IT Essentials&nbsp;<a href="https://www.contracosta.edu/classes/academic-departments/computer-information-systems/computer-info-systems-courses/">course</a>, you can get ready for entry-level repair, support, and upgrade jobs by learning hands-on how to put a computer together, get it running, install an operating system and other software, and then take it all apart, again. Our lab is full of routers, servers, and brand-new computers just for that.
You can even&nbsp;<a href="https://www.contracosta.edu/classes/academic-departments/computer-information-systems/computer-info-systems-courses/">learn how</a>&nbsp;to do basic programming and web administration.</p>
