Why should you use the online courses?
Faculties offer limited live training to students. All students are expected to take responsibility for improving their computer skills by using these self-training courses in their own time. This is necessary to cope with course requirements. Staff and postgraduate students can in addition attend live courses offered by ICTS: www.icts.uct.ac.za
