Would you need to enhance your skills in Microsoft Office applications or Outlook?

A new "blended learning" course, combining instructor-led and computer-based multimedia training, is now offered by Technical Training: the Instructor-led CERN Web-Based Technical Training (WBTechT) Course for Microsoft Applications. The next session will take place on April 1st, morning.

Course sessions will be self-paced and self-directed, with participants being in control of their learning, while having direct access to an instructor when in class. Topics include the Microsoft Office XP suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access) and Outlook, at introductory, intermediate and advanced levels. Visit the 2004 CERN WBTechT Portal, http://www.course-source.net/sites/cern/, where you can find the detailed course contents under the "Microsoft Office XP" catalogue.

Previous experience in web-based training is not required, as each session will start with an introduction to E-learning, and registration of the participants into the appropriate WBTechT course(s), at a cost of 50.- CHF per Microsoft Office or Outlook course. Participants will be enrolled immediately to enable accesses on the same morning. WBTechT courses are in English and will be accessed from PCs running Windows XP, the instructor is English-French bilingual.

During the 3-hour study period, the instructor will provide support on the course and the contents. A question and answer session, and feedback discussion will conclude the morning. After the first classroom session, participants will be able to access unlimitedly the subscribed course(s) for 3 months. It will be then possible to attend optional follow-up sessions. The cost of attending any WBTechT instructor-led study or follow-up session is 84.- CHF.
