 Think of this not as computer
training — but
as a course in personal productivity. Because, despite all its
muscle, Microsoft Office is probably under-used by the majority of
those who own it. Many
Office
users are content simply to write letters in Word, crunch numbers in
Excel, and create slide shows in PowerPoint. And that's it. These powerful,
versatile software applications are relegated to single-purpose programs.
This training will
show people all Microsoft Office can do to streamline their work, spiff
up documents and presentations, help them meet killer deadlines, eliminate
repetitive tasks, and generally increase their productivity tenfold or
more!
Who will benefit most ...

Those
who have been struggling to learn Microsoft Office on their own |

learn better from live instruction |

Experienced
users who are thinking about upgrading |

other applications |
|
Anyone whose job it is to produce
documents, spreadsheets, mailings, presentations —
or any project in which speed, accuracy and image are
important |
How we present this material ...
"Computer-less" training makes every
moment count. This is not hands-on training. Far from it —
and for good reason. Everyone works on computers at a different
speed. Some like to experiment, while others get lost easily and need
frequent help. In the long run, a hands-on software class would only slow
everyone down. Instead, every key point is projected on a large, viewer-friendly
screen. Participants will get their questions answered on the spot, receive
"real time" coaching, and benefit from the synergy of learning
with coworkers.
