The training day – intermediate and advanced topics, assumes that all delegates are familiar with the basic principles, either by having used the software at work, having followed the online training programme or familiarized themselves with the trial version.
The first session of the day will cover basic topics, but at a fast pace, just to ensure that everyone has understood the core principles of the software. The rest of the day, we will dig deeper into some of the more advanced features. There will also be time for Q&A at the end of the day.
The hands on training will be organized in small groups of 2 or 3 delegates sharing laptops. If you have access to a Windows Laptop, please bring it along. We will use the latest trial version for training. A download link to the trial version will be sent out to delegates prior the event.
The Training Day includes morning coffee/snack and lunch. Lunch will be around 12:00 and there will be a short break in the morning and afternoon.
The training day is open to all users and anyone interested to learn more about our products.
