Lab Monitor Training

Without our volunteers we couldn’t keep our lab open. Have you thought about becoming a Lab Monitor? Monitors are not expected to be experts on the operation of lab equipment, but are there to assist people with such things as signing in or signing up for classes. As a new monitor you will be paired with an experienced monitor and can choose to work the dates and times that fit your schedule. If you have not yet been trained as a monitor, and would like to be, send an e-mail to monitors3@sctxcompclub.org

 

Training Announcements

To see classes scheduled for  February and Marchclick on the month in this newsletter or go to Training on the main page of the Computer Club web site  and select Class Calendar.

 

Check out Class Descriptions page of the Training section on the website.  Classes are now color coded for Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced Computer Users so you can more easily determine which classes are designed with you in mind!

 

 There is also an Interest Form online for you to fill out if there is a class you would like to take that hasn’t been offered recently, or one that is not listed, or one that is full when you try to sign up for it. This helps the training director schedule classes based on the club members’ interests.

 

If you are signed up for a training class and cannot attend, please be sure to inform either the instructor or a Lab monitor. Someone else may be waiting for a chance to take the class.
