Computer Discovery Center

i spent the past 2 tuesdays taking a 4 hour photoshop class that was a waste of my time and money! the computers were inadequate, the teacher was unprepared and half the class didn’t even show up for the 2^nd night! i was expecting to be able to crop and adjust images as well as make fliers for my band and friends. after taking this class, i still posess no photoshop skills and am out $ 120! this place is a total scam and i will NEVER take another class there again. so much for joining into the community…
Pros: the class time fit my schedule
Cons: the instructor was useless and i could have just read photoshop for dummies and know more!

This place has lots of classes, but my concern is with the computer classes. They are too short! The most you get from classes like this is you get some keyboard shortcuts and you get maybe some new function keys, but you don’t get a long computer class at all.
You need to look into some place that teaches longer than 6 hours. And now that Vista & Office 2007 are out, you will need a complete overhaul to learn that version.
I’m looking into private tutors who will make house calls so I can learn the software more in depth. I wonder if their teachers will make house calls or if they can recommend an instructor who will tutor me privately?
These days, we all need to learn how to use the software and if you’re just interested in breezing in & out, this is the place. This is the perfect place for companies to dump their employees, giving them the barest of minimum computer training. Too bad for the employee if their stuck with cheap employers.
Check private instructors making house calls and the city colleges for longer, better computer classes in their continuing education department.

If you are ever bored, look at one of their catalogs. They have tons of classes on everything from hypnosis to personal finance. The building is nothing fancy, but some of the teachers are really good.
