IT
Courses
An organisation's
investment in IT and technology is a major one, but how confident
are you that your people can harness the power of your systems to
make maximum impact. More often than not, everyone dabbles in
Microsoft, using the bits they have picked up on the job and often
overestimating their competence.
The right training can maximise your people's output, helping them
to work quicker and more effectively so that they have time to focus
on proactive issues and the quality of what they do. Not only do you
get better results, the company benefits through a healthier and
less stressful environment leading to a more interested workforce
and improved staff retention.
Improved planning and document management on
Outlook for your PAs, in-depth expertise on Excel for the finance
team or evocative and powerful presentations on PowerPoint for the
sales team can all make a difference between profit and loss.
And don't forget Microsoft Office 2010 has arrived.

Secretarial
Courses
Your secretarial and
office support teams fuel the company's day-to-day activity, so it
pays to look after their development. Harness their commitment,
improve morale and engage their full interest through turning good
people into
great!
There are a raft of topics to make a difference from skills based
Microsoft Office,
shorthand and
typing
to
executive PA topics, refreshers and
updates on
minute taking,
interpersonal skills,
communications and
time management.
You can select exactly the right topics for each individual's
development from their progress review or choose some 'common to
all' topics for team building or consistent performance standards.

Bookkeeping
Courses
Finance and accounts
staff with little formal training could blossom with some Pitman
bookkeeping and accounts modules, or the very popular
Sage Line 50 course. Or grow
and promote your own accounts people through identifying talented
clerical staff with an aptitude for figures.
Growing your own is a much more cost effective and satisfying result
than just lobbing a fee at a
recruitment company. And you build
much more staff loyalty and retain tacit knowledge through
investment and retention of your people.

Touch
Typing Courses
Do you have people using
their keyboard two hours per day and typing at 15-20 wpm?
Doubling their speed will save them one hour per day, over 6 weeks a
year per person! Much less stress, more achieved and Health & Safety
satisfied! There are several ways to learn.
Type
in 2 Days – Accelerated Tutor-led
This is a unique intensive experience – blitz the problem in 2 days
out of the office on our open course or run one for your corporate
group. Excellent specialist tutor pulls you through with the ability
to touch type at the end. If you are frustrated with two-fingered
typing, and need an immediate fix, this works.
Keyboard
Skills On-line
Difficult to release people from the office? Our web-based computer
keyboard course with a unique login, password and your course book
can be accessed anytime, anywhere!
With the emphasis on touch-typing accuracy, spend 20 hours and you
should reach over 25 wpm accurately without looking at the keys.
Each course has up to 3 month’s access so with a corporate group
you, or we, can monitor progress.
Great
News for Budget Holders
Do you know that fifteen people each saving 6 weeks a year gains you
90 weeks? Equivalent to two extra hires, a resource of say £60,000pa
minimum for a total investment of less than £3,000 – not even one
recruitment fee!
