Delegates are not expected to have gained any prior knowledge of PCs before they attend this course. However, it is strongly recommended that they have some keyboard and mouse experience. We suggest the following as a minimum:
-
Type text and press key combinations using a PC keyboard
-
Mouse actions (point, click, double-click, and control-click)
