Technology. It’s constantly changing. Are you keeping up? If you grew up using computers, chances are you know how to use the latest version of Microsoft® Word. If not, check out Video Professor.
Founded in the mid-80s by John W. Scherer, Video Professor has helped more than eight million people learn the latest computer applications. For roughly 20 years, John W.
Scherer, the “Video Professor” himself, has been encouraging people to learn the computer skills that they need. Whether you want the job skills necessary to enter a new field or techniques for improving digital photography, Video Professor can teach you. Video Professor gained most of its 80 percent market penetration through infomercials and television commercials starring John W. Scherer. As the first company to offer computer tutorials on videotape, Video Professor created the market. And, with over 300,000 lessons shipping each month on CD-ROM, Video Professor remains the industry leader.
John W. Scherer created the first self-paced, videotape tutorial in 1987. That tutorial led to the creation of Video Professor. Today,
Video Professor offers lessons in more than two dozen applications, like Microsoft® Excel®, Photoshop®, and eBay®. All of the Video Professor lessons can improve your computer skills. Many will also increase your employment opportunities.
Because so many jobs require knowledge of computer programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel, Windows®, and/or Photoshop, Video Professor is the perfect tool to boost your resume. The Video Professor “What-You-See-Is-What-You-Do” method of learning created by John W. Scherer makes it easy. Upon putting the disc in your computer, a small window opens with easy-to-use menus. The program runs in this window, allowing you, the viewer, to watch the lesson while simultaneously following along in the application that you are learning about. This method has proved very successful for millions of individuals, and may be the perfect learning style for you, too.
John W. Scherer created Video Professor so you can learn at your own pace, on your own schedule, from the comfort of your own home. There is no travel or preparation time, as there would be for a class. The CD-ROMs can be paused, stopped, fast-forwarded, or rewound as needed. Either way, you can stop the lesson and return later to finish it, or skip over parts that you already know. Today, you can also learn online through 24-hour streaming video available on the Video Professor web site, www.videoprofessor.com. Whether you want to learn how to sell your old movies on eBay or hone your PowerPoint® skills, Video Professor makes it easy.
