Introduction to Networking
Introduction to Networking explains computer networking basics in terms that you can easily understand,
using concepts common to everyday, non-computing experience. A brief introduction to networking history
provides context, explaining how networks have become so important to businesses and individuals. The
course emphasizes networking fundamentals, explaining the software and hardware that makes networking
possible. The course stresses understanding how and why networks work, rather than focusing on
memorization of terms or numbers.
Upon completion of the course, you will be capable of performing basic computer networking tasks, such as
DSL connectivity or configuring connections to an Internet Service Provider. This course will give you the
foundation you need to begin training for CCNA Certification or employment in a computer networking
career.

Fee: $95.00
Introduction to QuickBooks ® 2014
Learn to manage the financial aspects of your small business quickly and efficiently with this powerful
accounting software program. QuickBooks is designed especially for the small to midsized business owner
who enjoys Quicken's ease of use but prefers a more traditional approach to accounting.
You'll gain hands-on experience as you learn how this well-designed accounting program can make it a snap
to set up a chart of accounts; reconcile your checking account; create and print invoices, receipts, and
statements; track your payables, inventory, and receivables; create estimates; and generate reports.
Fee: $95.00
Using Social Media for your Business
One of the biggest challenges for most business owners is to find a continuous supply of new customers. Over
the past decade, some have differentiated themselves by leveraging the Internet and social media to do just
that. Whether you consider yourself a social media novice or a seasoned veteran, this course will give you a
solid foundation and thorough understanding of what social media is and how you can use it to grow your
business.
Fee: $95.00
Mastering Your Digital SLR Camera
Get control of your digital SLR camera! You'll start out by learning about the many features and controls of
your DSLR and look at the lenses you need for the kind of photography you enjoy. Next, we'll explore exposure
controls. You'll learn about metering, exposure compensation, managing aperture, shutter speed, and
ISO. You'll find out how to use these features to get the right exposure for every shot.
Then we'll turn our attention to flash photography, managing camera controls, photo files, and even working
in manual mode. Finally, the course explores high dynamic range photos and how to master those difficult
and tricky exposure situations.
By the end of this course, you'll truly be a DSLR master, and most of all, you'll be able to use your camera to
take the photos you've always dreamed of.
Fee: $95.00
