Advanced Technology Center, KellyUSA, 312 Tinker Dr.
10 a.m.-2 p.m., Free computer assistance for ACCD Employees' and Students' personal home computers and laptops! Offered by students and instructors from Palo Alto College's CompTIA A+ Computer Certification Training Program. Reservations are encouraged, but not necessary.

“In most cases, students getting the A+ certification are IT professionals with years - sometimes decades - of experience who are looking to validate their skill set, or qualify for a higher pay grade,” said Program Manager Tod Bruning. “The computers they will work on will be in safe, competent hands under close instructor supervision in a controlled network environment. We’ll also verify everything we do with the owner who will be sitting there with us the entire time, so it’ll be a learning experience for them as well.All they need to do is bring the computer; we’ll supply the monitors, keyboards, mice, and expertise!”

For reservations or information, go to www.accd.edu/pac/ce or call Tod Bruning at 921-5526.
