The Consulting Office at the College of Computer Science and Information Technology at University of Basrah held a course on computer maintenance basics.
This course is part of its development programs aimed at enhancing the technical and practical skills of its students and employees.

The course aims to prepare trainees to understand the hardware and software components of a computer and how to handle them. It enables them to diagnose faults and identify their causes, whether related to internal components or software and operating systems. It also helps them learn preventive maintenance methods to maintain device performance and reduce future faults. Furthermore, it provides participants with the opportunity to learn the steps for safely disassembling and assembling a computer and understanding the function of each component. It also trains them to install and configure operating systems correctly. The ultimate goal of this course is to prepare participants to deal with common faults in a practical manner and pave the way for them to specialize in broader fields such as advanced maintenance, networking, or technical support.

 The course, delivered by lecturer Abdul Karim Mujbil Farhan, a member of the college's Information Technology Division, included several basic and advanced topics, designed to suit different levels of learners, from beginners to intermediate users.
