Welcome

We specialise in the supply of high quality, classroom-based, instructor-led, training courseware for all Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, Access, PowerPoint, FrontPage, Project and Visio), OpenOffice (Calc, Writer, Impress and Base) and StarOffice applications.

Training Philosophy

Officecourseware is designed to support the trainer and provide reference material for trainees to take away from their training course. It is specifically not designed to be used as a "teach yourself" guide. This means that trainees will not be able to pass the documentation on to a colleague who has not attended the training course.

Content

Officecourseware is divided in to chapters, each of which covers a specific topic. Where appropriate, exercises are included at the end of each chapter or at the end of the documentation. Most courses also include examples and exercises on disk.

Officecourseware developer courses include exercises and sample solutions.

Courses are mostly designed to last one or two days for an average group of trainees.

Presentation

Officecourseware training manuals for Microsoft applications are written in Microsoft Word using Word's standard styles. Officecourseware training manuals for OpenOffice and StarOffice applications are written in Writer using Writer's standard styles. This means that it is easy for you to attach your own template to a document and reformat it to your own in-house style. We can advise you on creating and attaching templates.

Most titles can also be provided in an HTML format for use on a corporate intranet.
