Computers are supposed to make your life easier, right?

So why is it that you find yourself wasting your time, on hold, waiting for some technical support guy to explain why your PC suddenly can’t find the modem?  Some days, it seems like you spend more time getting your PC to work than actually working, doesn’t it?

Well, help is on the way!

In this two-day, hands-on workshop, you'll learn the fundamental troubleshooting skills you need to resolve common hardware and software problems, add memory and “expansion” cards (like modems and network adapters), and even disassemble and reassemble a PC!

When you get back to the office, you’ll be a pro at keeping your PC—and everyone else’s—up and running.  And best of all, you can finally hang up on those over-priced technical support services!

Attend this intensive, hands-on, two-day workshop and you’ll learn the tools, techniques and skills necessary to keep your PC system running smoothly, and useful tips for diagnosing and repairing your system when problems occur.
