About the Course
During this 2-day course, participants will learn to create a wide range of drawings and diagrams using Microsoft Visi. Instructors will show you how to use Visio’s built-in shapes, stencils, connectors, grids, styles, and much more. Most graphics software programs depend on artistic skills, but Visio’s simple tools make conveying important information as easy as opening a template, dragging shapes into your drawing, and applying themes for a finishing touch.
Who should do this course?
This course is designed for people who need to know how to create a range of diagrams and drawings such as flowcharts, business diagrams, office floor plans, and organisation charts.
Prerequisites
No prior knowledge of Microsoft Visio is required; however, participants should have a general understanding of personal computers and the Windows operating system.

Course Reviews
Fantastic instructor and course. Easy to follow/understand and comfortable learning space. Limitations from my end was standard version of visio and my organisation does not support zoom calls, so had to use my personal pc for the call and couldn't share my visio screen (which was on work laptop).
I thoroughly enjoyed the course. Alex was very helpful and delivered the course material in an easy to understand manner.
Very interesting, I learnt so much more than I thought I would, I wondered why it was going to take 2 days, now I know. There is so much more in Visio that I thought there was. Sean was great, with a small class we were able to focus on areas that we needed to for real life application.
It was fantastic. I learnt heaps and Sean was a great trainer who listened well to the objectives I was seeking to achieve.
