Weekly plan

Sample lessons

Try the questions

The same skills are asked at three levels: School (Classes 6–12), College and Professional. Switch the level and the language (English or Tamil), and say how sure you are before you check: knowing what you are unsure about is part of learning.

Projects

20 student records with name, course, fee, amount paid and due date; 10 expense lines; one letter template.

A working tracker, 8 merged reminder letters for those with balance due, a dashboard showing total fee collected, pending fee and expenses, and a user guide.

30 transactions across purchases, sales, receipts and payments, with rates given on an exercise sheet.

A balanced trial balance, correct GST totals, a stock reconciliation note and a three-slide summary for the owner.

How you are assessed

A short weekly checkpoint of 5 to 8 questions mixing choice, sequence and matching, plus one hands-on task on the week's deliverable.

Practical work. Module-end practical labs in documents, spreadsheets, publishing and TallyPrime using realistic sample office data, plus a final project presentation reviewed by the trainer.
