FAQs about Office Tools courses

Are your Office Tools courses suitable for beginners?

Our Office Tools courses are designed to help people at all skill levels. We have courses aimed at those who have little or no experience, as well as classes for those who have plenty. Many of our clients are either self taught or want to go beyond the basics. Our highly experienced tutors always teach product best practise, alongside advanced techniques for those who need them. Whether you're new to the Office tools we teach or you're looking to refresh your knowledge, our training provides a step-by-step approach to mastering the software.

Suppose my skills lie somewhere between a beginner’s course and an advanced course? Can you still help me?

We can help you assess exactly where your experience lies with our tried and tested Training Needs Analysis questionnaire. After working through our short TNA questions, you'll have a better understanding of which course is right for you. Alternatively, you can attend a private course, where we can customise the agenda exactly to your needs or the needs of your corporate team. You can also talk to one of our trainers to who will help you plan the learning you will benefit from.

What software or equipment do I need to attend the course?

When you come to our training centre, we provide everything - you'll just tell us whether you prefer to use a Mac or a PC. When you join one of our live online classes, you'll need access to the latest version of the application relevant to the course and a reliable internet connection. If you have any questions, just ask our customer service team in advance.

How are your Office Tools courses taught?

Our Office Tools courses are available in various formats: classroom-based sessions, live online sessions, or for private courses, in your own corporate offices, at a time and with an agenda of your own choosing. Choose the format that best suits your schedule and learning style. In all cases you will be taught by expert instructors with a great deal of knowledge and experience, as well as first class communications skills. They will guide you from beginning to end, with plenty of practical exercises and an encouragement to ask as many questions as you like.

What duration are your Office Tools classes?

The duration is shown on our course page but most are either one day or two days. In practice, course durations vary depending on the topic and format. Our public courses always follow the agenda we publish. When you book a private course, you get the chance to customise the agenda to your needs. We will recommend a duration to match your learning requirements but you are welcome to book as many or as few days as you want.

Will I receive a certificate upon completion?

Yes, all participants receive a certificate of completion of a Transmedia Office Tools training course, which can be a valuable addition to your professional portfolio.

What support is available during and after the course?

Our tutors are always delighted to take questions during the course. Never hold back from asking questions - the answers will often be helpful to other attendees. After the course, we provide unlimited support on all topics covered during training, via email or by arrangement, a phone call. If you have very specific questions on a current project, we can offer you a private consultancy session - just ask your account manager for help.

Can your Office Tools courses help me get a job?

While we sadly can't be in the interview room with you, our Office Tools courses will make you much more knowledgeable and the confidence you gain will stand you in good stead. Just as important as knowing how to use Office Tools tools is your knowledge of the right workflow and how to meet the standards of the job you aspire to. Our tutors excel at explaining how to master a workflow and satisfy an employer's expectations.

What sort of people might share a Office Tools class with me?

One of the pleasures of welcoming clients to our Transmedia training centre is that they come from many and varying backgrounds, all age groups and all job descriptions. We have had everyone from 14 year olds to 77 year olds but they all come for the same reason - to gain new skills to work more effectively with the tools they use. They usually end up helping each other as well as learning a huge amount from our expert tutors.

What career or work benefits can I expect from attending Office Tools courses?

By completing one of our Office Tools courses, you'll gain in-demand skills that can boost your career in coding and programming, office tools and general business skills. You'll also learn practical techniques to improve productivity and efficiency in your current role.

How can I justify spending money on attending Office Tools training courses?

Investing in digital skills training is justified by the significant career and financial benefits it offers. Employees with advanced digital skills can earn higher salaries, often up to a third more than those without these skills. By mastering the tools used in Office Tools, you enhance your employability, productivity and adaptability in the job market. Our short, flexible courses are designed to fit into busy schedules, making them a practical investment for career growth and professional development.

What topics do your Office Tools courses cover?

Our Office Tools courses cover a wide range of applications and skills, including Microsoft Office tools such as Excel, Word, PowerPoint and SharePoint, as well as advanced data visualisation with Power BI. We also offer training in Claris FileMaker for custom app development, Adobe Acrobat, SQL databases and Apple productivity tools such as Keynote and macOS.
