What are the personal benefits of good IT training?According to Martin Harvey of the e-skills UK sector development agency …. (source: Training Journal, April 2007) “There are 21 million people in work who use IT … 37 per cent of the 21 million have never had IT training; more than half of them learn by osmosis, talking and working with each other, or very often you have a super-user who acts as a resource for colleagues. The problem is, if I’m using MS Word, for example, I’m probably only using 30 per cent of its functionality. I could save up to 35 minutes a day if I had proper IT skills” Our experience at Northern Star backs this up. So many times we go and train within an organisation to hear: •“Wow, I never knew you could do that – that will make my life so much easier” or •“If only I’d known that last week when I had to get that report out”. Northern Star has many years’ experience of going into the workplace and training people in their own environment, very often using their own working files and application. This makes the training directly applicable and enhances the learning experience. We also advise on how to use applications to better suit the needs of an organisation. And the business benefits of good IT training? •Staff who understand what they are doing, and why •Staff who no longer see IT as a barrier •A more productive workforce •Less pressure for all •Less absenteeism •Confident staff, at ease with their equipment, and therefore with clients Some of our training courses: Microsoft Word Training Microsoft Excel Training Microsoft PowerPoint Training Microsoft Access Training Microsoft Outlook Training Microsoft Publisher Training Pricing All training can be adapted to the needs of the individual or organisation and we would encourage you to think about what you actually need from the training and contact us on 0800 3196032 or email sales@northernstar.co.uk to discuss
