A 6 Weeks, beginner programme taught at our Hoshiarpur centre in Model Town and live online, with live projects and placement support built in.
A six-week foundation in the concepts behind the computer: its parts and how they work together, types of software, what an operating system does, binary and number systems, storage and memory units, and networks and the internet. It is the theory that school, college and government exam papers ask about, explained with the machine open in front of you.

Counselling & demo class
These are skills you learn by doing, so the classes are run that way: short explanations, then practice on the computer in front of you while the trainer watches and corrects.
You spend the class working on a lab computer, not watching a projector.
The trainer has time to sit with you, check your work and fix habits before they set.
Every topic ends in a task you complete yourself, on the same software offices use.
Come back with a doubt from your job or exam preparation and a trainer will go through it.
The course is built for learners arriving from different starting points.
A practical skill to add while you decide on, or continue, further studies.
Candidates preparing for clerk, data entry and other posts that test computer or typing skills.
Fits alongside a degree, with weekend and evening batches covering the same syllabus.
No prior experience needed — the first modules start from fundamentals.
Do daily work faster and take on reports and tasks you avoid today.

Finishing Computer Fundamentals puts three separate documents in your file — each one for a different part of what you did.
Awarded when you complete the Computer Fundamentals programme. Where the track has a recognised vendor exam, we prepare you for that as well.
For the live project you build during Computer Fundamentals, naming the work and the tools you used — so the project on your CV is backed by paper, not just claimed.
Take your training as a university internship and you finish with an internship letter covering your weeks on a project team.

How the paper is used
The roles Computer Fundamentals prepares you for, and the kinds of employers who use these skills. Outcomes depend on your own work and the market — we prepare you for interviews, we do not promise a job or a number.
Placement support comes with every course — portfolio review, mock interviews and guidance on where to apply.

What the call covers
Counselling and the demo class are both free.
It is a foundation course at our Model Town centre on how computers work — hardware, software, operating systems, number systems, memory and networks. It teaches the concepts and vocabulary that exams, interviews and every later computer course assume you know.
Students after 10th or 12th, college students with a computer paper, government job aspirants preparing for computer-awareness questions, and anyone who uses a computer but wants to understand it.
None. You do not need to have used a computer before, and no maths beyond school arithmetic is needed for the number systems module.
Computer Fundamentals is the concepts course — what the parts are, how software, memory and networks work, and the theory exams ask about. Basic Computer is the practical course in everyday use: Windows, typing, Word, Excel, email and online forms. Many learners take Fundamentals first or alongside.
Yes. The syllabus follows the computer-awareness topics those papers usually draw on — hardware, software, memory units, number systems, networking and security terms — and each module ends with practice questions.
6 Weeks, across 4 modules and about 30 sessions. Weekday and weekend batches cover the same syllabus, so choose the timing that suits you.
