Our Recommended Training Plan

1. Skills Boosters: Kickstart your training journey with our highly-rated Windows, Word, and Skills Boosters. These sessions are designed to bring all users up to speed, including advanced users. They also help create evangelists within your teams, fostering a culture of continuous learning.

2. Microsoft 365 Overview: We strongly recommend all councils to hold this session for all staff with a Microsoft 365 account. This high-level overview ensures that users are aware of the various apps available to them, enabling them to make informed decisions about which apps will boost their productivity.

3. In-depth App Training: After the Microsoft 365 Overview, attendees can choose to attend more detailed training on the apps they find most useful.

4. Microsoft Teams, OneDrive, and SharePoint File Management Training: Most councils book these sessions for most of their staff after the Skills Boosters and Microsoft 365 Overview.

5. Word and Excel Training: Staff can choose the relevant level of Word or Excel training based on their skill level identified in the Skills Boosters.

6. Power BI Training and more Microsoft 365 apps: This is offered to staff who require it. We also gauge interest for any other sessions we offer.

TESTIMONIALS 

"Participating I found the trainer’s ability to be extremely good, one of the top 3 trainers I have ever encountered. I have attended quite a few training sessions over my 25-year working life."


Derek was brilliant. We received all round positive comments for staff. "...there is a real buzz around council, and everyone is energised and excited."


It is such a great experience; everyone wants him to come back. We are blessed to be able to have access to someone of such a high professional manner to help our staff not just get trained but engaged and excited. Much more than I could have hoped for.
