Computer Repair Students Gain Hands-On Training

Palo Alto College
Corporate and Community Education Division
Computer Repair Technician Job-Entry Program - Free PC Clinic

Saturday, April 13, 2013, the students of the Computer Repair Technician program from CCE's CompTIA Academy were prepared to troubleshoot, fix, and offer recommendations to clients about their personal computers free of charge, courtesy of the Corporate and Community Education Division at Palo Alto College. 

The students were offering their assistance from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with the experienced advice from Instructor, Laura Maldonado. 

Many different computer-technical problems were brought to the attention of these students that day, such as computer viruses, hardware and software issues, "slow" computers due to lack of memory and older models that were in need of upgrades, requiring the students to use their knowledge gained from the program in a hands-on approach.

Communicating with clients was also a valuable experience these students gained at this clinic. They learned exactly the kind of problems that usually arise with different types of computers along with what questions to ask and recommendations to give to each client depending on their specific scenario.
