Frequently Asked Questions

1. I haven't taken CAOT 1 (Keyboarding 1) or CAOT 2 (Keyboarding 2).  Is it okay to enroll in CAOT 3?  CAOT 3 requires a beginning speed of 40 wam with 5 or fewer errors AND complete knowledge of document formatting (one- and two-page letters; envelopes/labels; memos; two-page tables with repeating column headings; long business reports with headers/footers, footnotes/endnotes, bulleted/numbered paragraphs, table of contents, and bibliographies that require the overhanging indent).  In addition, students should have either completed CAOT 84 (MS Word 2007) or be able to create all the formats previously listed.  Student who have these skills are ready to enroll in CAOT 3.
