Landing a job in an office environment often requires at the very least a modest knowledge of computers. To increase your chance of finding work in an office setting, Goodwill offers basic computer training through our Basic Computer Training Program. In this class you'll gain a general overview of computer programs. The three-week program covers:
- Computer Fundamentals
- Key Applications
- Living Online
To sign up, simply call 615-346-1236 or email us. If you are interested in more in-depth training for Microsoft Office, you can sign up for Goodwill's three month Microsoft Office Certification class which costs $1,450 for non-Goodwill clients.

In this 10-12 week class, a Microsoft certified trainer will introduce you to the basics of computer software and hardware. When you complete this program you'll have the skills needed for an entry-level clerical or data-entry position with a goal of typing 35-40 words per minute.
Microsoft programs taught include:
- Word
- Excel
- PowerPoint
- Internet Explorer
- Outlook (email)
We provide on-going options for enrolling and class curriculum. The class is offered through modules so students may enroll within two weeks of gaining appropriate funding, usually through a government agency. A study guide is included in the cost of the training modules.
