New Half-Day Training Courses

We have just created a series of half-day courses based around Microsoft Excel, Word and PowerPoint. These short half-day courses are designed to address specific skills requirements. The courses still have a PC per person and a training manual to take away. 3 hours of training designed to get you using your software effectively.

Scheduled Training Courses

From time–to–time we schedule public training courses in Access, Excel, PowerPoint, and all the other Microsoft Office programs, plus some soft skills course too. This helps to make them accessible for individuals and small companies. Our next courses are coming up in September and October 2009.

Training, and Software Development Services

Training

Our training is in Microsoft Office – including Office 2000, Office XP, Office 2003 and Office 2007. We also train in public speaking skills, communication skills and run Train the Trainer courses.

Although we are based near Shrewsbury, our training is provided throughout Shropshire, and also Cheshire and the Welsh borders to companies either on–site at their place of work or in nearby hotels or conference facilities where we set up our training computers.

Our main courses are based generally around one-day sessions, with some Access and programming courses lasting two or three days. However, we also have short half-day courses to address specific needs, and all training can be customised to fit in with our clients' requirements.

We also schedule public training courses from time–to–time for individuals to attend. These training courses run at convenient locations in Shropshire. Our next courses are being held in September and October 2009.
