8 weeks · About 6 hours per week

Week 1

Information Technology Fundamentals and Computer Systems & Operating Systems and File Management

  • Identify and explain the function of core computer hardware components (CPU, RAM, storage, motherboard, peripherals) and classify input, output, and processing devices.

  • Compare operating system types and describe their role in resource, memory, and device management.

  • Demonstrate file and folder operations in at least two operating systems: create, rename, move, copy, delete, compress, and set permissions.

  • Explain the difference between system software and application software and give an example of each.

  • Describe common file formats and their appropriate uses (e.g., .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, .pdf, .csv, .jpg, .mp4).

Your checkpoint

A one-page labeled diagram of a computer system with a written explanation (150–200 words) of how the OS manages hardware and files, plus a screenshot log of 10 completed file operations.

Week 2

Word Processing and Document Preparation & Spreadsheets and Data Analysis

  • Create a formatted document using styles, headings, page numbers, tables, and a table of contents.

  • Apply spreadsheet formulas and functions (SUM, AVERAGE, IF, COUNT, VLOOKUP) to a sample dataset.

  • Build a chart from spreadsheet data and interpret the result in writing.

  • Use data-sorting and filtering tools to answer specific questions about a dataset.

  • Explain relative vs. absolute cell references and demonstrate both.

Your checkpoint

A two-part portfolio: a 2-page formatted report (with TOC and table) and a spreadsheet workbook with 5 formulas, 1 chart, and a 100-word written interpretation of the chart.

Week 3

Spreadsheets and Data Analysis & Presentation Software and Digital Communication

  • Clean and analyze a small dataset using sorting, filtering, pivot-style summaries, and conditional formatting.

  • Create a 6–8 slide presentation with a consistent theme, slide master, speaker notes, and at least one chart or table.

  • Apply presentation best practices: one idea per slide, readable fonts, contrast, and minimal text.

  • Deliver a 3-minute recorded or live presentation using speaker notes and answer two audience-style questions.

  • Explain how to export and share documents and presentations in PDF and editable formats.

Your checkpoint

A polished 8-slide presentation deck built from the spreadsheet analysis, with speaker notes and a 3-minute recorded narration or a written script.

Week 4

Internet, Web Services and Email & Database Concepts and Data Management

  • Explain how the internet works: IP addressing, DNS, HTTP/HTTPS, browsers, and common web services.

  • Configure and use email professionally: compose, reply, forward, attach files, use CC/BCC, and organize with folders and labels.

  • Describe database concepts: tables, records, fields, primary keys, foreign keys, and relationships.

  • Write basic SQL queries (SELECT, WHERE, ORDER BY, JOIN) against a sample database.

  • Explain the difference between a database and a spreadsheet and when to use each.

Your checkpoint

A short report (200–250 words) explaining how a URL request reaches a web server, plus a set of 5 working SQL queries and their output on a sample database.

Week 5

IT Enabled Services and Business Process Operations & Digital Communication and Soft Skills for ITeS

  • Define IT Enabled Services (ITeS) and distinguish BPO, KPO, and LPO with real examples.

  • Describe common business process operations: data entry, voice and non-voice support, transaction processing, and quality metrics.

  • Apply professional email and chat etiquette in simulated customer interactions.

  • Demonstrate active listening and clear verbal communication in a role-play scenario.

  • Explain the importance of service level agreements (SLAs), KPIs, and customer satisfaction in ITeS.

Your checkpoint

A role-play package: two professional emails (one complaint response, one escalation), a 200-word reflection on active listening, and a one-page SLA/KPI summary table.

Week 6

Cyber Safety, Ethics and Data Privacy & Emerging Technologies and Entrepreneurship in IT

  • Identify common cyber threats: phishing, malware, ransomware, social engineering, and weak passwords.

  • Apply safe browsing and password practices, including multi-factor authentication and password managers.

  • Explain data privacy principles (consent, minimization, purpose limitation) and relevant legal concepts at a high level.

  • Describe emerging technologies (AI, cloud computing, IoT, blockchain) and give one ITeS use case for each.

  • Outline the steps to start a small IT-enabled service business, including a basic value proposition and cost estimate.

Your checkpoint

A two-part deliverable: a one-page cybersecurity checklist for a small office and a one-page business idea canvas for an ITeS startup with a 100-word risk note.

Week 7

Information Technology Fundamentals and Computer Systems & Word Processing and Document Preparation & Spreadsheets and Data Analysis & Internet, Web Services and Email
