Speed learning from Pitman Training – Office 2007 essentials in just 6 hours!
‘Radically different from previous versions’ is how industry experts are describing the new Microsoft Office 2007. Busy professionals may think they haven’t got time to get to know this new system but can they afford not to?
Pitman Training has devised its ‘Office 2007…Fast!’ course as a quick way to help computer users to get acquainted with Office 2007.
According to Microsoft, Office 2007 ‘can help streamline the way you and your people do business’. This latest release from the industry’s best known brand is said to offer ‘significant new capabilities to help increase personal productivity, simplify how people work together, streamline processes and enterprise content management, and improve the quality of business insight across your organisation’.
‘Microsoft Office 2007 is very different from the 2003 version. It has some exciting new features and tools and the look and feel of software such as Word, Excel and Access has been dramatically changed,’ explains Laurence Gillam, Product and Training Principal at Pitman Training. ‘However, according to Forrester Research, companies who are moving to the new system are experiencing “more intense” training experiences. In other words – users are not finding it easy to adapt.’
‘The Pitman Training Office 2007… Fast course has been devised for people who already work with earlier versions of Office It highlights the key differences between the two systems and enables users to make the most of the new features without having to undergo a long training course,’ Laurence continues. ‘After around 6 hours of self-paced study, learners will have covered the ‘must-know’ elements of Office 2007 and be ready to use many of the new features that it has to offer.’
‘The Pitman Training Office 2007…Fast course is a convenient and cost effective way for existing Microsoft Office users to get up to speed with the most important new features of the key applications within the new package. It is a user friendly course which learners can fit in around their existing work or personal commitments,’ concludes Laurence.
The Pitman Training method is based on flexible, self-paced learning in a non-competitive environment. Learners are provided with an audio CD and workbook and can choose the study times that suit them best. A tutor is always on hand to answer questions and provide support and encouragement.
