The Microsoft Visio Intermediate course is designed for people who already understand the fundamentals of Visio and want to create more sophisticated, consistent and professional diagrams.
Participants will build on their existing knowledge of shapes, connectors and page layouts and learn techniques that can make larger or more complex diagrams easier to create and maintain. The course is particularly useful for people who regularly produce process maps, organisational diagrams, workflows or other business diagrams.
Work more efficiently with Visio
As diagrams become more complex, consistency and efficient working become increasingly important. Participants will explore features that can reduce repetitive work, improve the organisation of diagrams and make information easier for other people to understand.
Practical exercises provide opportunities to apply the techniques throughout the course and develop approaches that can be transferred to participants' own workplace diagrams.
