Daily Herald Publishes About Nebo ALC Students Offering Computer Repairs
What happens when a Chromebook in the Nebo School District breaks down? Joe Rogers, Andrew Benson and Carson Lewis come to their classmates’ aid.
The three students, all of whom are IT certified, man RepairWare at the Advanced Learning Center in Salem. The ALC allows students to gain skills, and college credit in some cases, during their class schedule. In A+ Computer Repair (IT1600) students gain entry-level professional skills focusing on computer hardware and software.
Students have the opportunity to test for Industry Certification A+ at the end of the course. Rogers, Benson and Lewis took the next course, PC Pro Repair, and passed the exam for TestOut PC Pro certification.
The students repair district ChromeBooks in their repair shop class, as well as personal computers for anyone who needs an affordable fix. Both classes are taught by Gerald Talbot, who also oversees their repairs.
“I really love working on the unique problems brought in by people in the community,” Rogers said. “Diagnosing and fixing someone’s problem is highly satisfying and a lot of fun.”
