Policies Regarding
SEMLS Computer Trainings
All classes at the SEMLS lab are instructed
on PCs. In an effort to accommodate a broad
range of computer skill levels, we ask that
registrants for our classes respect others’
learning by signing up for classes appropriate
to their skill level. By registering for advanced
classes without the prerequisites, you force
instructors to slow down the pace and all
the necessary material will not be covered.
To help members evaluate whether they have
achieved the skills to participate in advanced-level
classes, the following proficiency guidelines
for advanced classes is as follows.
