The Godman Guild/Ohio State University (OSU) Extension Learning Center, operated by OSU Extension University District, and located at the Godman Guild, is designed to assist Franklin County residents in meeting their education and employment goals. The Learning Center is equipped with 20 computers with high speed Internet access.

The Learning Center offers Open Lab hours (listed below) as well as regularly scheduled classes. Open Lab hours are designed to allow you to familiarize yourself with the computer, practice your keyboarding skills, check your email, type a cover letter, update/create your resume, conduct an internet job search, take a student initiated on-line course and much more!

In 2006, thanks in part to a grant from the Columbus Foundation our lab became an approved Certiport Testing Site which allows us to instruct and administer IC3 and Microsoft Specialization Exams (MOUS).

The Learning Center is open to residents during the following Open Lab hours:
Monday: 9:00am-12:00noon
Wednesday: 3:00pm-5:00pm

Classes are offered in Keyboarding, Computer Fundamentals, Internet Basics, Microsoft Word, Excel, and Access, and Money Management. There is a $5.00 membership fee for the Learning Center. Evening courses traditionally run 2-4 weeks longer than our day courses and cost $25-50 depending on the level of the class being offered. For a listing of upcoming classes offered in the Learning Center, call 614-294-5476 x126. Listings are updated quarterly.

All classes require pre-registration and free babysitting is available on a limited basis for designated classes.
