This Microsoft Visio training course will teach you how to use Visio to transform your ideas and information into understanding and action. It is an easy way to transform complex ideas into easy to read and follow charts and diagrams, as the saying goes, a picture is worth a 1000 words. Learn how to create your own custom stencils with your most often used shapes, link shapes to multiple data sources such as SQL and Excel and create an organisation chart from employee data.

This course is instructor led, and involves working on a number of practical, hands on examples and exercises in a workshop environment. Led by highly experienced Microsoft Visio trainers with many years of experience our hands-on courses mean that you will leave with lots of practical experience as well as useful tips and tricks.

Take advantage of refreshed templates and thousands of shapes that meet industry standards including Unified Modeling Language (UML) 2.4, Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) 2.0 and Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) compliance. This enables you to create industry standard drawings that can be recognised worldwide.
