Certifying the Future (Excellent Candidates: Junior High, High School, GED, Post-Secondary, Workforce) *Pre-requisites may apply.*
Teachers, administrators and district leaders are increasingly coming to grips with the somewhat confounding reality that despite students' affinity for IPhones and their complete comfort with Google and FaceBook, many of them lack the technological literacy they need to navigate today's information landscape. However, recognizing the problem is not the same as knowing how to measure or fix it -- tasks that many are puzzling over.
Students are good at learning technologies, but not all students are good at applying them. As technology evolves so quickly, experts toil to grasp the extent of the problem. Computer Success has a solution that accurately gauges students' technological literacy through computer certification programs. Some districts are using the IC3 certification exam as a replacement for the final exam in their computer literacy course such as Introduction to Business Computer Applications (IBCA). Other schools are using the Microsoft Office Specialist Certification exam to replace the final exam in Business Computer Applications (BCA). Furthermore, a certification in either could open doors for students in the workplace and/or lead to college credit.
At Computer Success, we are focused on "certifying the future" by assisting students with attaining personal, career and life goals through globally recognized certifications. Students can earn these highly recognized certifications while enrolled in junior high or high school. Classes are taught by certified professionals in small groups (up to 15 students). These certifications are also available to students in post-secondary, GED or individuals in the workforce.
The following certifications are offered through our Center and are approved certifications from Louisiana Department of Education:
1. Internet and Computing Core Certification (IC3) 2. Microsoft Office Specialist Certification (MOS) 3. Customer Service 4. Career Readiness 5. Work Readiness 6. OSHA
