Visio Level 2 - Imagine Training

Microsoft Visio makes it easy for you to build visually compelling organisation charts, diagrams and Floor Plans which can be modified to meet your specific business needs. Using built-in Visio stencils, for example Floor Plans and using the Cubicles, Office Furniture, Walls, Doors and Windows stencils you can show where employees sit or what equipment they have. In our Advanced courses you can learn how to create dashboards by linking data to your diagrams. So, if you run a Call Centre and have live call data your diagram can be updated live to show who is busy with customers and who is free.

Visio is such a brilliant tool if you need to see pictures of business processes, or engineering plans, or network diagrams you can easily create them.

Doug W – Johnson Controls

J Frost – Chester Zoo

Paul A – Arconic

"It`s an excellent experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would like to tell others that the course is very useful for your daily work and highly recommended. I would like to thank Karen Turner my tutor."
Weili L – Allfresh

"I will 100% be telling everyone about the course in and outside the business, using the prompt cards at the end of the session really helped also in re-capping what has been learnt. In particular I found useful:- Short Cuts – this will be extremely beneficial when working on excel all day. Conditional Formatting- Didn’t know what this was even used for and now will become a great help in different reports and findings. Printing- being able to re-size Excel documents to fit on one page or in different way by scaling – this will reduce wasted paperwork I have wasted in the past "

Visio Level 2 Testimonials

"I would definitely recommend this to other people who use or would like to start using Visio. I’ve found the training very helpful, I’ve learned new things and will save me a lot of productivity time. I've learnt the ease of creating floor plans – I use Visio to create floor plans but because I never had training on how to do it, it took me a long time to create simple layouts. How to create different types of timelines – This is useful for documenting projects. How to create network/application diagrams – This is invaluable for to document our server and network infrastructure. Keyboard shortcuts. "
Andy S – Enterprise Flexi -Rent

"This course is highly enjoyable and the trainers teaching style is excellent. I have learnt a more efficient way to work; additional skills; also I have learnt about new organisational charts which will be highly relevant to my job. "
Alison S – Enterprise Flexi-Rent

"All three of us have discussed the course in depth and we all agree that not only did we learn a great deal but, even though it was very intensive course, we thoroughly enjoyed it! I consider our daytrip a 5* success! "
Ali S – Enterprise Flexi-Rent
"I found the training session excellent, I really enjoyed it. I found the NLP very interesting and insightful. I also found the theory around transactional conversations very good too. The ok Corral theory was a good reference point for future interactions. I found it generally a very good session again and a nice conclusion to the course. I think I would of liked to expand upon some of the theories/models a bit more to help me better understand some them, but it proved a good starting point to something I was not aware of but can see value in using in the future for sure. The practical involving the NLP theory was very enjoyable and piqued my interest to look into this further."
Huss S – Epson
"For me it was excellent! I have learnt about advanced filters as well as some interesting things that I can do on pivot tables and all the controls tricks, that really save me time! It allowed me to catch up on some things and prepare me for the guru training."
Dayanna B – 2 Sisters Food Group
"Very useful! Thank you!"
