In our efforts to serve you better, we are now offering:

• A lower cost per hour
• A stronger opportunity for classes to be held

Winter Quarter

The new format for staff computer training is proving to be a success! Remember: The more staff that register for a class, the lower the cost.

New Classes! We are offering topic specific 3.5 hour classes in the MS Office Suite. We want your suggestions! Please email jpopp@iel.spokane.edu or lmoon@iel.spokane.edu with ideas for classes that you would like to have.

Charges are calculated on the rate of $75 per hour divided by the number of staff in the class. Example: 6 or less staff in a 6 hour class; the charge is $75 ($150.00 for a 2 day or 12 hour class). Over 6 staff in a class, the charge is divided by the number of staff. Example: 10 staff in a 6 hour class the cost is $45.00. 8 staff in a 2 day class (12 hrs.) the cost is $112.50.

Remember: You must follow the instructions at the end of this page to enroll.

*Please note the change of class hours.
