Prince Edward County Public Schools offered a free parent class this fall in Microsoft Word sponsored by 21st Century Community Learn-ing Centers at Prince Edward Coun-ty Public Schools. The course lasted for seven weeks meeting one night per week for two hours. There were seven parents enrolled. Upon com-pletion of the course, students may opt to take the certification exam for FREE (typically the cost is $165 per exam) administered via Certiport. Some students preferred just to learn the basics about using Microsoft Word, while two students from this particular class obtained the cre-dential. Becoming a Microsoft Office User Specialist allows individuals the following achievements:

• Achieve industry-recognized certification.

• Boost your workforce resume.
