Vocational Education and Training

Word processing skills

All students at Skills Institute Australia are strongly encouraged to submit all assessments in a digital format. Handwritten work will only be accepted in limited circumstances.

Our staff are ready to assist any students who require additional coaching in general computer skills or in Word Processing in particular.

There are many word processing applications that are available, many of which are free of charge. Microsoft Word is the most popular, and Google Docs is a free, highly functional alternative.

Here are some very informative help sites:
