Description

Do you want to be a Power User of Visio?

We teach you the skills to get there: not just in learning to do things, but in controlling your work and automating what you do.

With every ZandaX Microsoft course, you get a workbook and exercises (downloadable from the short “General Introduction” module at the start of each course). These are a great addition because they enable you to practice the skills you learn.

Our Microsoft instructors are seasoned professionals - they don't just know the software: they've used it commercially and taught it in a classroom environment for years. You won't be in better hands!

And we don’t woffle! Do you want to sit through hours of over-explaining before you get the knowledge you need? We doubt it! So we make sure that everything is covered in easy-to-follow video lessons, and we get to the point so you make the best use of your time.

You’ll learn a lot in the course, but some of the major topics include:

  • Customizing Shapes & Stencils and Editing Masters

  • Designing Styles and Templates

  • Creating Floor Plans and Office Layouts

  • Working With External Data (including Excel and Gantt Charts)

  • Using Other Programs (including Word and Web Pages)

  • Using Macros to Automate Tasks

Each lecture is self-contained, so you don’t need to sit through them all: once you’re at a comfortable level, you’ll be able to use this as your reference library, where you can select what you want to view.

The course is aimed at existing users of Microsoft Visio who want to take advantage of what the package can offer to improve the impact of their documents and reports.

Upon completion (and with a little practice…) you will not only be able to create more diverse and better quality diagrams, but also work with data, other software packages and automate your tasks.

We’ll say it again: don’t forget the course workbooks and exercises – downloadable with the first “General Introduction” module at the start of each course – which really enhance and deepen your learning. Remember that practice makes perfect!

So this course is genuinely much more than just a set of talk-through videos. We don’t think you’ll find better value, so why not enrol with us now?

I have used Visio for many years but this course showed me some capabilities I have not used up to this point, mostly because basic functionality solved my requirements. This course showed me functions that will make me much more efficient in all of my Visio endeavors. Many thanks to a very good instructor!

Nichts besonderes, eigentlich nur die Standardfunktionen etwas mehr erklärt. Die Makro-Sektion ... naja ich hätte mehr erwartet, da dass was gezeigt wird ebenso mit genau einem Mausklick erreicht werden kann. Also keinerlei Erleichterung bringt. Hätte definitiv mehr erwartet von einem "Advanced" Kurs.

Tutor sounds like he knows a lot and the stuff he explains is generally well explained, so I learnt some useful new tips, but only a handful. The course feels really light for an "Advanced" course. It leaves a very "barely scratched the surface feel" to most of the more intermediate/advanced features touched on. I found the Automating Visio Tasks section to be more like a taste of what the entire course content should probably have been, but it comprised 25mins of the entire course. Still, there is not a lot of video content to facilitate Visio mastery, so I believe it is useful to have completed this course and appreciate it being available.

It is an excellent course. The course introduces all basic to advanced aspects and it ONLY touches everything and leave to the reader for practice. Few things have to be taken care by the instructor, The exercise files are different and video explanation is different. Kindly update them as some videos require Excel Files and Database Files. If there is anything extra course if it is present, the instructor has to tell us in the video or mention in the explanation.

There is a lot of content that I wasn't expecting on this course and even in the Visio software itself. The information is well explained and presented.

Went over a lot of things, but not as much detail as I would like, Is there going to be a follow up to this course?
