Introduction This web site will introduce and develop your understanding of basic computer concepts and applications. After learning the essentials first, you will continue to be introduced to additional topics and complete short exercises of increasing complexity to increase your computer skills and literacy. Certifications
When preparing for the Microsoft Office Specialist Certification examinations, the Shelly Cashman Series offers several Microsoft-approved textbooks that cover the required objectives of examinations and exercises. For a listing of the textbooks, visit the Shelly Cashman Series web site. After using any of the books listed in an instructor-led course, you should be prepared to take the related Microsoft Office Specialist certification exam. You pay $50 to $100 each time you take an exam, whether you pass or fail. The fee varies among testing centers. The Microsoft Office Expert exams, which you can take up to 60 minutes to complete, consist between 40 to 60 tasks that you perform on a personal computer in a simulated environment. The tasks require you to use the application just as you would in doing your job. The Microsoft Office Specialist exams contain fewer tasks, and you will always have slightly less time to complete them. The tasks you will perform differ on the two types of exams. After passing designated Expert and Specialist exams, candidates are awarded the Microsoft Office Master certificate. Application Software
Application software consists of programs that tell a computer how to produce information. Some widely used types of applications software include web page authoring, accounting, desktop publishing, database management, and multimedia authoring. Personal computers users often use application software such as word processing, electronic spreadsheet, presentation graphics, and electronic mail software. Some software packages, such as Microsoft Office, also include access to the World Wide Web as an integral part of the application.
