Navdon Technology offers Technical classes and instruction in topics related to Computer Science. These are practical, hands-on, courses that teach the student knowledge, skill, and proficiency in using the personal computer in the real world.

We emphasize personal, one-on-one instruction given in two, ninety-minute sessions per week. A typical course will run 6 weeks. Out-of-class study and homework is expected from the student to firmly plant concepts and procedures in their mind.

We strongly recommend a person to person environment at the Navdon Technology location, where access to computers, peripherals, and equipment is at hand. However, if that is not possible, instruction can be delivered over the Internet using Web Cam, Instant messaging, email, remote desktop, and other methods of live communication.

Navdon Technology also has the proficiency to conduct other classes aiding individuals to re-enter a college classroom environment or pass a proficiency test in required courses for an associate or bachelor's degree.
