Course Objectives
This one day course covers the basic concepts for creating flowcharts, cross-functional flowcharts, and organisation charts. This includes learning the basics for using and creating shapes, printing drawings, creating custom stencils, and many time-saving shortcuts and techniques designed to increase productivity.
Who Should Attend?
Those who are new to Visio Standard and require an introduction to the application and those who have been working with the package already but have not yet tapped its full potential.
Some understanding of using a computer and working in the Windows environment will be expected. The topics covered on our "Introduction to Microsoft Windows" course are an adequate prerequisite for this course.
