Please note that these course structures are not cast in stone. The delegates on the day will determine the actual content and the depth of coverage of each topic. It is assumed that each course will be all day and that all delegates will be of the same existing ability with PowerPoint.
Many topics are duplicated across courses – this is quite deliberate as topics will often be reinforced as required by the delegates on the day.
As we like to tailor our courses – we always encourage an accurate needs analysis (a service we provide free of charge) beforehand, and ask delegates if there are any specific topics they would want covered on their day.
