ABOUT DoIT TRAINING
Our computer software training courses and workshops are FREE sessions held in ADM 103 and are available to all SFSU students, staff, and faculty throughout
the year. Courses range from basic word processing to complex Web animation. Each class is two hours in length and there
is no need to register since they are offered on a
first-come, first-served basis. Arrive on time because instruction starts 10 minutes after the hour. A current SFSU OneCard ID is required to take a class. The monthly calendar is located online and is also available in print in the Help Desk office, ADM 110, and in the John F. True 24-Hour Computer Lab, located on the main floor of the J. Paul Leonard Library.
Each class has a course guide associated with it that contains detailed information on the instructional content presented in the class. Before
coming to class, you may print the course
guide to use for note taking and following along.
