This course equips learners with the practical skills to operate a computer workstation effectively in a business environment. It covers essential hardware and software operations, file management, and workplace ergonomics to enhance productivity and compliance with organisational standards.

None — open enrollment.
Objectives:
• Understand the basic components and peripherals of a business computer workstation
• Demonstrate safe and ergonomic workstation setup and operation
• Navigate the operating system interface and manage files and folders
• Use productivity applications for basic document creation and editing

Topics:
• Introduction to computer hardware: CPU, monitor, keyboard, mouse, printer

• Data storage and backup fundamentals
• Email and internet basics for business communication
• Computer security: passwords, antivirus, and safe browsing
This course is made up of exercises and case studies delivered alongside the theory — no separate practical sessions are required to complete it.
Each delegate is assessed continuously throughout the course and a final summative test at the end.
Every training day ends with a multiple-choice exercise scored out of 100%. The scores from each daily exercise are averaged across the duration of the course to produce a Daily Average mark, which contributes 30% to the final total.
On the last day a final summative test is written. It is a multiple-choice paper with multiple-answer questions: each question may have more than one correct option, and a single wrong selection on a question marks the entire question wrong — no partial credit. The final test is scored out of 100% and contributes 70% to the overall mark.
| Component | Out of | Weight |
|---|---|---|
