About the programme
Course overview
Course overviewA complete starter package that takes a beginner from switching on the computer to producing letters, simple spreadsheets and presentations. The aim is to be genuinely useful in an office or for personal work by the end of the course.
The basic computer course programme at techcadd Amritsar is built the way the work is actually done: you handle the data, train and break the models, then ship something that runs. Tools such as Windows, MS Word, MS Excel are installed on your own machine in week one, not shown on a slide in week ten.
It runs across 3 months with morning, evening and weekend batches, and every module closes in a reviewable artefact. By the end you hold a certificate, a portfolio, and the ability to talk through your own decisions in an interview for a computer operator role.
Every concept is implemented before it is examinedMentors are working practitioners, not career trainersProjects are reviewed line by line, not just marked completeDoubt sessions and lab access run outside batch hours

The honest pitch
Why this programme is worth your year
Why this programme is worth your yearMost basic computer course training in this region stops at the tutorial: you follow along, the notebook runs, nothing is retained. This programme is built the other way round — every module hands you an unfinished problem and a deadline, and a mentor reviews what you did with it.
That is slower and harder than watching lectures. It is also the only version that survives an interview, because the questions there are about the decisions you made, not the code you copied.

Why choose Basic Computer Course
Why students choose techcadd
Why students choose techcaddTwo decades of training in Amritsar, in a format that has not changed since: small batches, real projects, mentors who still work in the field.
- 01
Practitioner-led teaching
Your mentor works in basic computer course for a living. The examples in class come from that work, and so do the shortcuts.
- 02
Small, fixed batches
Batch sizes are capped so a raised hand gets answered in the session it was raised in, not weeks later.
- 03
Reviewed, not marked
Every submission comes back annotated, line by line. The notes are the point — they are what you carry into the interview.
- 04
Current tooling
We teach Windows, MS Word, MS Excel and refresh the list each intake, because a stale stack is worse than no stack.
- 05
Flexible batches
Morning, evening and weekend tracks, classroom or live online, with recordings either way for revision.
- 06
Support that continues
Resume and portfolio review, mock interviews and hiring-drive access — and it does not stop the day the course ends.

Future scope
Where basic computer course is headed from here
Where basic computer course is headed from hereA certificate answers what you can do today. This is the honest answer to what basic computer course looks like three to five years out, and why the fundamentals this course spends real time on are what carry you there.
- Demand is structural, not seasonalEvery business, regardless of size, still runs its books, filings and reporting on the software this course teaches — that layer of work does not shrink as a company grows, it multiplies.
- The skill ladder keeps climbingComputer Operator is the entry rung, not the ceiling. Once that portfolio is in place, office assistant is the realistic next step — a promotion earned on the job, not a second course you have to go back and pay for.
- Tooling changes; fundamentals compoundWindows and the rest of the stack will look different in five years — they always do. What does not expire is the fundamentals this course is built around, which is why the syllabus is reviewed each intake instead of frozen once and reused.
- Remote and hybrid widen the marketA basic computer course portfolio built in Amritsar competes for the same remote and hybrid roles as anywhere else. Companies hiring for this work are increasingly indifferent to which city the offer letter is posted to.
The 3 months programme is built around the part that is genuinely in your hands — and you leave holding all of it.
A reviewed portfolio, an industry-recognised certificate and a fundamentals-first foundation you can keep building on. Markets move, as they always have; that foundation is exactly what lets you move with them as accounts and office work around you keeps shifting.
Due diligence
How techcadd compares
How techcadd comparesAn honest side-by-side against the typical basic computer course institute in the region. Ask any centre you are considering these same seven questions.
| What you should ask | techcadd Amritsar | Typical institute |
|---|---|---|
| Who teaches the batch | Working practitioners | Full-time trainers only |
| Project work | 4+ reviewed builds | One demo project, unmarked |
| Feedback on submissions | Line-by-line written review | Pass / fail mark |
| Syllabus refresh | Reviewed every intake | Static for years |
| Lab access | Outside batch hours too | Batch hours only |
| Placement support | Continues after completion | Ends with the course |
| Certificate basis | Assessed modules & projects | Attendance |
“Typical institute” describes the common pattern we hear about from students who transfer in — not any single named centre.

I joined the Basic Computer Course batch with almost no background, and what made the difference was that computer & windows basics was taught by building rather than by slides. By the third week I was debugging my own code instead of copying someone else's.
The project reviews are the real value. My monthly expense sheet was picked apart line by line, and those notes are exactly what I ended up talking through in the interview that got me a office assistant offer.
Weekend batches meant I kept my job through the whole 3 months. Anything I missed got re-explained without fuss, and lab access outside batch hours was never a problem.
Typing Master and the rest of the stack were set up on day one, so no week went into environment issues. Batches are small enough that a doubt gets answered the same day instead of piling up.
I had tried learning basic computer course on my own twice and stalled both times. A fixed batch in Amritsar, a mentor who checks your work and a deadline on every module is the only reason I finished.
Placement support was not just a line on the brochure — resume and portfolio review, two mock interviews with people who do the job, and a referral into one of the hiring drives.
The syllabus is current. We worked in Typing Master rather than the older tooling most basic computer course syllabi around here still teach, and that came up directly in my first interview.
The balance of theory to lab time is about right: enough to understand why something works, then straight into building. I left with 4 projects I can demo, not just a certificate.
Before you enrol
Questions we get asked at the admissions desk
Frequently asked questionsIf something here is not covered, the Amritsar desk will answer it directly — no call-back queue.
No. The programme opens at beginner level and assumes no background beyond comfort with a computer. Students who already have some exposure move through the early modules faster and spend the saved time on project work.
