The target audience for this course are learners who want to acquire basic word processing skills and use Microsoft Word to develop simple word processed documents. Learners in this category may not previously have had much experience of using a computer. The course will equip learners to understand the basic function and use of Microsoft Word software, and to develop their own documents which they can save, print and edit. The course is designed to provide the learner with hands-on practice and confidence in word processing, and does this through a series of demonstrations and simulated opportunities to practise tasks. Once this core learning has been assimilated the learner is encouraged to attempt activities using the live application on their computer. A final course activity consolidates their learning from the entire course.
