All participants should please note the following
- Test session We run a test session prior to the training so that any technical or other issues can be identified and resolved in advance. It is strongly recommended that all participants attend the test session. Generally, the test session will be at 4.30pm on the day prior to the course and will take approximately 10 minutes. Login details will be sent prior to this session.
- Two monitors Having two monitors is very strongly recommended for this training. It allows you to view the trainers PC in one monitor and the application that is the subject of the training in the other. On a single screen it can be difficult to arrange the trainers screen and your own application comfortably. If you only have a single screen please inform the trainer - ideally before the test session - and they can help you to get the best from the training session.
- Microsoft Office version We use Microsoft Office 365 Professional. If you are using an older version please be aware that you might not be able to do some of the exercises that are using the latest features.
- Windows 10 We prepare the files and deliver the
course using Windows 10. If you are using a MacBook or other platform please
be aware that there can sometimes be incompatibilities and there are certain
features that are not available on the Macintosh edition of Microsoft Office
365 Professional. These issues can be identified and resolved during the test
session.
