Computer Training Checklist

	Your needs come first. Don’t waste your precious time learning skills you’ll never use just because “they’re part of the course”. You should be in control of what you learn. Your computer training session should be tailored to you, so that you easily learn and retain your new skills. Don’t settle for “one size fits all”.
	You’re working with your own computer and software. Beware of classroom training where you work on the “class” computers. They might be the same as yours… or they might not. If your computer is different, how long will it take you to figure out how to do what you did in class? Plus, if you can look at your own documents for real-life examples, you'll be able to see practical applications for your skills right away.
	Your trainer is responsive and flexible. What if you need training, fast? What if you have questions afterwards? Can you afford to wait for a scheduled session? And what if you need training on an evening or weekend? Your training company should be there when you need them.
	You’re in an environment where you feel comfortable and confident. When you feel “at home”, you’ll learn more easily and effectively. Make sure your computer instructor comes to you, so you can get the most out of your training.
	You’re the one holding the mouse. “I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand.” - Confucius Hands-on training is a recipe for success.
