Business Technology Education

Mr. David Dunkle, Postsecondary Instructor

The Business Technology Department at TTI currently offer three courses for students to choose from that include: Administrative Assistant, Accounting Operations, and Medical Administrative Specialist. While all programs are self-paced, all post-secondary students will begin their respective program with an Introduction to Information Technology course. This course is designed to give students an opportunity to explore the world of technology. Projects include taking computers apart and learning about the different components that make up a computer, basic Web page design where students can create their own personal Web pages, as well as many other topics. This course is not self-paced, so it includes scheduled class discussions on course material and hands-on group projects.
