Acer Chromebook Repair Course Helps High Schoolers Explore Learning Pathways
When students at Pioneer Springs Community School requested hands-on computer repair training a few years ago, administrators found an Acer online program that does that and more for the North Carolina public charter school.
The Acer Service eLearning Repair Program covers Chromebook functions, component replacement, post-repair quality assurance and hardware reconfiguration during its eight weeks of training. Afterwards, students can do repairs for the school's own Acer Chromebooks, making it a "win win" for the school and students.
