The 2023 Confluence Crash Course

"Extremely easy to understand and straight to the point. The examples are realistic and easy to compare to most jobs"

Chloe - 5 stars

Imagine an organisation in which the collective knowledge, learning, and experience of all its people is available at everyone's fingertips at any moment. Welcome to Confluence.

In the 2023 Confluence Crash Course you will learn how to harness Confluence to boost your productivity, resulting in more effective collaboration, less time-wasting admin and an end to information loss. In as little as 2 hours you will get up to scratch with Confluence, and start to understand the ways it can help you in your day to day work in 2023.

In this course we will use a fictional case study company to explore the functionality and applications of Confluence in different business functions, including Operations, HR, Projects and IT. By switching between each of these functions you will see how Confluence works collaboratively between team members, and get an understanding of the different functionality available for different user levels (e.g. guests, users, admins etc). All the examples used in this course are inspired by real world use cases.

"Amazing, very compact and well explained :) Thank you!"
