About the Course
During this 2-day course, participants will learn to create a wide range of drawings and diagrams using Visio 2016. Instructors will show you how to use Visio’s built-in shapes, stencils, connectors, grids, styles and much more. Most graphics software programs depend on artistic skills, but Visio’s simple tools make conveying important information as easy as opening a template, dragging shapes into your drawing, and applying themes for a finishing touch.
Who should do this course?
This course is designed for people who need to know how to create a range of diagrams and drawings such as flowcharts, business diagrams, office floor plans and organisation charts.
Prerequisites
No prior knowledge of Microsoft Visio is required; however participants should have a general understanding of personal computers and the Windows operating system.

Paul is very engaging and keeps up the enthusiasm, very good at keeping the class interacting with the ticks and crosses, loved the ability to link it all with the different applications
(4.90 out of 5) Andrew H [ 23 November, 2020 ]
Very knowledgeable instructor. For my work I need to create IT related diagrams (systems, network topology, data flow, depicting how systems between sites and DMZ zones are linked).
Would be interested in using different layers to visualize different levels of detail for different audiences.
