Byte Back

I was a student at Byte Back and they are a great asset to the community. They really are doing so much good work on such a shoe string budget. My only concern is that they need more money to offer more computer training and resources. This is not thier fault, but I think corporate donors and foundations really need to give more to Byteback since they are doing the education that Universities and Expensive Training Centers do at little to low or no costs. The Digital Divide is an Economic Divide. Paying Thousands of Dollars in Tuition to Training Centers and Universities is out of reach for must urban poor and even most low to middle class. Byteback has an affordable and value added community based training that doesn't discriminate on income so more students can take advantage. I challenge all Corporate Donors to think about the future of Technology without the Non-Profit Training Centers like Byteback. That is a world where the Digital Divide grows larger. We can't afford to allow that to happen. Byte Back is the Answer. Thanks ByteBack!

I really enjoyed my experience at Byte Back! I took the beginers course and found that to be extremely helpful, and I am now enrolled in the Office Track course and am working towards my goal of gaining the computer skills to become a receptionist. The teachers are helpful and the classes are informitave and easy to understand.

I am a retiree who is trying to open a home based business. I tried updating my IT skills at home on my own using Video Professor. Needless to say, some of the exercises in Excel got real complicated. So, I decided to go to Byteback where I could receive hands on instructions and demonstrations. Byteback was perfect. The atomsphere was relaxed and very accommodating. Most days they even had small welcoming snacks like coffee, tea and crackers. The instructors were well informed and sharing. No question was too small to invoke the entire class' participation. Each class was a viable learning experience. My confidence increased with my IT skill. I now understand the Video Professor lessons. Would I do it again? You bet I would.

I am the District of Columbia Housing Authority Family Commissioner elect by the Family Communties of Public Housing in the District of Columbia. My position is a volunteer position which lead me to Byte Back, during the Summer to refreshing my IT skills. I was overwhelm with my instructor from the Mayor Summer Youth Program. I now can use power point, comfortable once again with Excel. The instructors are very patience, and make learning fun. I love the on hand training, and every question was a demonstration instead of an answer. I highly recommend this program if you have to take a test at a temp agency, or want to open up your own business, or if you want to learn to be a IT computer volunteer.

Byte Back is a very Good organization. I did not have any computer exprience. My six weeks for the 1st class and then six weeks again prepared me for advancement in the work force. I really enjoyed the staff. Byte Back is the BEST.
