The study adopted within group experimental repeated measures design through using pretest posttest retention approach. The study is anchored on conscious competence learning model, with population of 154 and a sample of 42 using purposeful sampling. A basic guide to chart creation downloaded from the net was adapted and use in all the three rounds of pretest, posttest and retention. The findings of the study among others revealed short term memory recall to have surpassed the long term memory recall of the trainees, as those that passes in the posttest were found to be slightly above those that pass at the retention level. The study recommends that practical guide; more especially in computer related courses should always accompany lessons and be shared on the students’ virtual platforms in the form of exercises with an option of download. This when done will serve as a depository of knowledge which clearly can enhanced upgrade in knowledge at will and so improved skill retention of students.
