Short Description

Schools are usually equipped with all types of computer equipment. In general, computer science teachers are the technicians and the supervisors in the field of computer equipment, with little or no training at all. This program aims to train computer science teachers on managing and maintaining computer labs. It also includes effective lab design, upgradable general programs, effective computing resources, and skillfully monitoring students. The program additionally provides basic skills for managing various international online tests.

Big Ideas

•	A well-organized lab is certainly easier to work in.
