Spring class schedule and registrations

The new schedule for mid-April through June will be out shortly. If there are classes you would like to see added, call 630-906-4248 and leave a message with that information.  There may be a delay in registering next week, but you can call and leave a message at 630-906-4248 with your name (spell it, please), phone number and class(es) you wish to join.

A new, online registering option is in the works as well.

Closed Classes

If a class you are interested in is lined out in the schedule, it means the class is full. Most classes are repeated each month, so check the next month's schedule and call us. You can sign up as far in advance as you wish. Popular classes fill quickly, so call us as soon as possible to get your choice of classes.

Also, TBA classes are classed that are currently under revision. Please check this blog for the most current schedule of classes as they become available.

New Computers will be Installed this Week

The ACTC is getting new computers installed this week, so we will have a full complement of working computers to better serve our clients. With the new computer installation, we will also have enough memory to install MS Office 2007. We will switch instruction from Office 2003 to Office 2007 during spring break (the week of March 15-19), and after that time will use Office 2007 for instruction. If you need classes in 2003, please sign up before March 12. If you prefer using MS 2007, sign up for classes AFTER March 19.
