Basseterre, St. Kitts – KVK Enterprises will be diversifying its services to the Federation with the introduction and official opening of The CompuDoctors tomorrow, Friday, August 29 at West Cayon Street, Basseterre.
The new affiliate enterprise is aimed at providing computer training for persons starting at age four, and would also offer computer repair and retail services. The same location will also house an Internet Cafe and a Copy Centre as well as mini print shop services.
The classes will run from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. on weekdays at a cost of $25 per session for adults and $20 for children. On Saturdays, there will be class for children only from 10:00 a.m. until noon. While training sessions are ongoing, all other services would temporarily cease and resume after classes have ended.
At present, The CompuDoctors offers training for two exams - CXC IT (Information Technology) and CXC EDPM (Electronic Document Preparation Management), KVK Enterprises owner Khrystus Wallace said. He further expounded by saying training is available in general computer based courses including Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Power point and others. ~~Adz:Right~~
“Persons questioning the value of paying for computer training for children only have to look at our most recent success story, Johnathon Browne. This twelve-year-old resident of Palmetto Point gained a distinction in the 2008 CXC Examinations in Information Technology. He began training at KVK during primary school and through exceptional performance progressed to the point where he could enroll for CXC classes at age 11.”
“Enrolment for the classes will run up to the end of September, and the public response to the venture so far is very enthusiastic” Wallace said, adding that at the opening of The CompuDoctors the work of the graduates of his CompuCamp, run earlier this summer, would be on display.
Wallace noted that the location of The CompuDoctors offers more convenience than teaching computer studies from his residence in Boyd’s Village as he did after graduating high school some five years ago. He felt relocating to the Cayon Street premises would ensure the general public access to the high quality training offered by The CompuDoctors.
Wallace revealed that the training component of CompuDoctors would be operating on a very small skeleton staff of only himself and his younger brother Lemercius Wallace who would be assisting with younger students. He said that classes would be divided according to age, and that the individual rate of learning would be considered in placement.
“I’m certain that this new venture will not adversely affect the operations of my existing businesses. I am confident in the abilities of my staff at both other locations to keep things running on an even keel.”
