Further Information

Training Schedule

Daily courses at our premises start at 10am and finish at 4pm, with an hour for lunch, and a break in mid–morning and mid–afternoon.

Refreshments are included in the price of the course, but students should provide their own lunch.

Equipment

All equipment required for training will be supplied, although you may of course use your own laptop if you prefer.

Documentation

Handouts and examples of exercises given during the training will be available for you to take away on a CDR for future use.

Tailor–Made Courses

We are also able to provide tailor–made courses. If there is a particular area you are keen to study, please contact us.

Open Office

Many individuals and firms are now using Open Office instead of Microsoft Office, for the simple reason that it’s free.

The two systems work in almost exactly the same way, so everything you learn on our Powerpoint course will also apply to the Open Office equivalent, Impress.
