Computer knowledge is essential in today’s highly technological society.
GSW's Online Computer Science Certificate Program is designed to train individuals to fully utilize available software packages to their utmost
potential. The certificate program consists of eight required courses and
three elective courses. You have up to 18 months to complete these
courses. Courses last six weeks and have 12 lessons. Two lessons are
released each week, one on Wednesday and the other on Friday. Once
you have completed all twelve lessons in each course, you must take
a final exam for that course. The final exam comes out the same day as
Lesson 12, and you have two weeks from that release date to complete
the final. Once you pass the final exam, you can print out a letter of
completion for that course. Take each course and spend time practicing
what you learned while at home or on the job before going on to another
content area. Copies of all 11 completion letters must be sent to GSW
Continuing Education in order to receive your certificate.
