Computer Maintenance
Overview
This course introduces you to the personal computer as a system: how it is built, how its parts work together, and how to keep it running. You will work directly with motherboards, processors, memory, ports, and cables in CIS College’s computer labs, and you will learn to spot hardware problems and fix them with confidence. The course also covers the basics of networking, from cabling and topologies to the TCP/IP protocols that connect computers together.
Sessions combine short theory blocks with hands-on lab work. You will disassemble and reassemble real computers, diagnose common hardware and software issues, and practice with the tools and commands technicians use every day. The course runs 24 hours and is delivered at CIS branches across Lebanon and online.
