What You'll Learn in This Computer Training Course
The 1 month computer training isn’t about memorizing shortcuts. It’s about doing the actual tasks you’ll face at work.
Getting Around Windows
You'll learn how to find files, save documents properly, and not panic when something doesn't work the first time.
Microsoft Word
Create reports, type up safety documents, format letters. The basics through to looking professional.
Microsoft Excel
This is where most people get nervous, but we make it simple. Data entry, basic calculations, understanding what all those cells mean. If you can handle Excel, you're already ahead of half the applicants out there.
Microsoft PowerPoint
Put together a presentation that doesn't make people cringe. Useful for safety briefings or when you need to explain something to a team.
Email and Internet
Writing emails that don't sound like text messages. Attaching files without sending the wrong thing. Finding information online efficiently.
Typing Properly
Speed comes with practice, but we'll show you the right technique from day one.
Real Workplace Stuff
Timesheets, safety reports, inventory forms – we use actual examples from construction sites and mining operations so nothing's a surprise when you start working.
Everything’s hands-on. You’re not sitting listening to lectures. You’re doing it yourself while someone’s there to help when you get stuck.
Who Should Enroll in This Computer Training?
This training works for people in different situations:
Job seekers who keep seeing "computer literate" on every application form. Construction and mining workers eyeing those admin or supervisor positions. Drivers who need to handle digital logbooks. School leavers without work experience yet. Anyone changing careers into something more office-based.
Maybe you're that person who avoids computers because you're worried you'll break something. Or you can switch one on but everything after that is guesswork. That's exactly who we teach.
Age doesn't matter. Background doesn't matter. We've had 18-year-olds and 50-year-olds in the same class, all figuring it out together.
Why Choose Abethu Skills Development Center?
TETA accreditation isn’t just paperwork. Employers know what it means. When you put this on your CV, it carries weight.
Our instructors get that this might be intimidating. They don’t rush you or make you feel stupid for asking questions. That’s literally their job – making sure you understand before moving on.
Everyone gets their own workstation with current software. You’re not sharing or waiting for a turn.
Every module connects to real work scenarios. We’re not teaching you to pass a test – we’re preparing you for what happens Monday morning when you start that new position.
Morning person? Night owl? Working part-time already? We’ve got different class schedules because we know life is complicated.
If you understand better in isiZulu or isiXhosa, that’s how we’ll teach you. No point struggling through English if it’s slowing you down.

Career Opportunities After Computer Training
Here’s what changes once you’ve got computer skills on your CV:
Admin positions open up – data capturing, office assistant, reception work. These jobs exist in every construction company and mining operation in KZN.
Logistics and stores departments won't look at you without basic Excel. Stock counts, supplier orders, tracking deliveries – it's all spreadsheets.
Supervisors and coordinators need computers now. Site reports, scheduling, team communication – it's all digital. If you want to move up from the tools, you need to handle the paperwork.
HR and payroll teams need people who can manage records and input information accurately. Want to start something of your own? You'll need invoicing, record-keeping, and customer communication. Can't hire someone else to do your books when you're just starting out
