Course Description

The course is delivered as a 2 day course where the instructor will demonstrate the functions of the software using a PowerPoint presentation and using the software live module by module. Students will also be given the opportunity to complete workshops at the end of each chapter to reinforce the material taught in the lesson.

Options for In House Presentation:

The course may also run as:

• A one day introductory course where the students complete Day 1 of the training and learn to plan but not control a project and complete the student workshops
• A one day workshop where the whole content of the course is covered in one day. The students do not complete the workshops and any questions or issues the students have are explored during the course. This is a great way to bring self taught and casual users up to speed with some of the more difficult areas of the software
• This course may also be shortened to meet any customers' requirement including the writing of specialised training material to suit a customers method of operation.
