Windows: Working knowledge of using the mouse, pull-down menus, file and folder structure is required. A knowledge of elementary DOS commands is also required for Windows courses in order to learn the important concepts of these programs at the pace at which they are presented. In order to fulfill this prerequisite, complete one of the Windows tutorials or the "Introduction to Windows" course.
