Curso excelente para quem está começando do zero, explica desde o básico do computador até como navegar na internet com segurança de um jeito muito claro.

ブランクが長くて不安でしたが、ネットの安全な使い方からOfficeの基本まで丁寧に学べて自信が戻りました。

I hadn't touched a computer much before this course and it walked me through everything from file management to Word and Excel basics without ever feeling rushed. The section on staying safe online was more useful than I expected, especially the phishing examples. Now I feel comfortable using a computer at work instead of quietly panicking.

Bardzo przystępny kurs, choć część o Excelu mogłaby mieć więcej ćwiczeń praktycznych.

Saya benar-benar buta komputer sebelum ikut kursus ini, dan sekarang saya bisa membuka email, mengatur file, dan memakai Word tanpa minta tolong anak saya lagi. Materinya disusun pelan-pelan, mulai dari mengenal keyboard sampai cara browsing internet dengan aman dari penipuan online. Bagian tentang phishing dan link mencurigakan sangat membuka mata saya karena selama ini saya asal klik saja. Cara mengajarnya juga sabar, tidak seperti kursus lain yang langsung meloncat ke istilah teknis. Sekarang di kantor saya sudah berani pakai Excel sederhana untuk catatan harian.

Materi dasar komputernya lengkap banget buat pemula seperti saya, apalagi bagian keamanan internetnya. Excel dan Word dijelaskan langkah demi langkah jadi gampang diikuti. Cuma agak berharap ada lebih banyak latihan soal di bagian akhir.

Ce cours reprend vraiment les bases, du clic droit jusqu'aux raccourcis Word, ce qui était exactement ce dont j'avais besoin. La partie sur la navigation sécurisée sur internet est bien expliquée et concrète. Seul bémol, le chapitre sur Excel passe un peu vite sur les formules.

بعد انقطاع طويل عن العمل، ساعدتني الدورة على استعادة مهارات الكمبيوتر الأساسية، وكنت أتمنى تفاصيل أكثر عن الأمان على الإنترنت.
