January Computer Classes ~ Join Us

Happy New Year Everyone and we are hoping one of your resolutions this year is to continue to learn and grow. All of us at Mohave Community College are here to help you reach that goal, whether you want to master your computer, digital camera, cell phone or learn to paint, do yoga or kayacking, we are ready to help you do just that… and remember MCC offers a 25% discount to all senior AZ residents over 62, so be sure to ask for this if this applies to you!!


Based on your requests, we’ve added new computer classes and several of my classes have expanded to 12 hours instead of 8, such as our classes dealing with digital photos and creating books with your photos.. And if computers are not your thing, then MCC has many other wonderful credit and non-credit classes in a wide variety of subjects, including fitness, yoga, dance, ceramics, history, jewelry making, maintaining your motorcycle & much more...
Visit our website: www.mohave.edu ; or visit our campus at 1971 Acoma Blvd in Lake Havasu or call for more information.. Don’t forget to stop by and visit our Library at MCC and ask their staff to give you a tour and explain all the wonderful services available to you for free, including library books, using our computers to check your email or surf the web or accessing countless databases and much more..


I will be teaching the following computer/technology classes in January and we will have these and many more classes thru April.. We look forward to working with you so bring a friend along and just call Registration 928-855-7812 or 453-1139 and we’ll save you a seat...


Feel free to bring your laptop to any of my classes or use one of our computers, the choice is yours... We do require a minimum of six (6) participants in every classes, otherwise we will sadly have to postpone that class until the next scheduled class, but typically this time of the year – classes fill up quickly….
