The Comprehensive and Integrated Resource for Learning the Productivity Tools

Through the use of the earlier editions of the CaFSET (Antigua) Office Workbook, many students have successfully
acquired the skills necessary to effectively manipulate the productivity tools and have successfully negotiated the CXC
CSEC I.T. and EDPM examinations.

Like the last edition, this sixth edition is in full-colour and takes an integrated approach to learning the productivity tools
- Word, Excel®, Access® and PowerPoint®. In addition, this edition covers Web Page Design and Introduction
to Programming. The integrated approach is considered to be most efficient and effective in increasing productivity.
This book uses real-life Caribbean cases to teach the user the concepts required to be considered competent in the
use of the productivity tools. The book starts with simple step-by-step exercises. The complexity of the exercises
increases as the user grows more familiar with the tools.

The intriguing lessons and assignments provide the user with the opportunity to master the skills necessary to
use the productivity tools to create real-life specialized applications. The sections on Web Page Design and
Introduction to Programming are presented in an easy-to-learn format. Students taking the CXC CSEC I.T.
and EDPM courses will find this book to be an invaluable resource in their preparation for the School-Based
Assessment (SBA) and the other examinations.
