WORD TRAINING COURSES
Microsoft Word Training
Training courses for Word 2007 to 2016 delivered in 11 UK locations or at your offices UK-wideEverybody knows how to use Microsoft Word, but few know how to use it properly, or to most effect. To those who realise that an investment in training will repay their outlay many times over, we'd say that we're here with you in mind.
Just learning about what's available on the Ribbon can yield great benefits in speed and quality of work. But the automation offered by a mail merge is quite staggering. And when you move on to the wow factor of documents with advanced formatting, data tables and charts, you can see that your work will progress to a new level.
So you can continue as you are, making the most of what you know, being both inefficient and ineffective. Or you can learn best practice, short cuts and new functionality.
We have scheduled public (open) classes running at all our UK centres, or can run a private (closed) class for you at your offices, all at excellent prices. And if you lack the time, the budget or the training need for three classes, we can deliver a private 1-day course with content composed of the subjects you want to learn, at no extra charge.
With all this on offer, we firmly believe that you won't find a better solution.
Classroom trainingClassroom training is proven to give the best learning experience and knowledge retention. You have the benefit of a relaxed but professional learning environment, an experienced trainer and the opportunity to ask questions, so you are 100% sure you understand all the course content.
