Online Classes - On Demand
Online classes are designed for people who are familiar with how computers work and want to explore learning at their own pace.
You can take a one-time digital assessment, which is a series of simple questions that help determine what class level to take, to get started.
Please note: Your learner account is set up with a "home" library location, but you can learn at any location - even if that's your own kitchen table or home office.

Answer a few questions to see what skill level you're at right now.
