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.

Course Reviews
(4.80 out of 5) Tammy K [ 27 January, 2022 ]
I thought the course was good and I learnt a lot. I look forward to putting it into practice at work. I think the last part on building rooms etc would be good if it was optional, as I'm not sure how many people would use it. I would high recommend Sean as an instructor.
(5.00 out of 5) Jill S [ 06 December, 2021 ]
Sean made the training a lot of fun and covered everything we needed to know. I learned some new things which were very useful, particularly zooming and panning techniques.
(5.00 out of 5) clare [ 06 December, 2021 ]
Great quick tips and tricks. I can't believe I was manually moving each box on Visio before taking this course!
I will be definitely leaning in on the month post course assistance with this course.
(5.00 out of 5) Georgia M [ 06 December, 2021 ]
This course was very useful and demonstrated that Visio can be used for a huge amount of useful things that I didn't previously realise.
