CAT's like computer literacy... learning how use excel, word documents, the internet etc.

I'm pretty sure the point of it is to know your way around a PC, the basic stuff. Therefore it would kinda be counterproductive to be teaching Linux when all your workplaces are using Windows -_-

Thanks dude. Didn't realise they have a course like that. If it is something like that, then forcing people to use MS Office isn't so bad considering it is the industry standard?
