May the Ass be with you all but don't be one |
The Wonkey Donkey sanctuary is an fictitious organisation that we designed the elements around. The office manager has gone AWOL and left a pile of receipts and papers and through the course we work out basic accounting, record keeping, PR, Rotas and calendars, mail merging and damage control.
The course involves the use of
Microsoft Office
- Word
- Excel
- PowerPoint
- Publisher
- Cloud file management
- Blogging and websites
The course is a little different from most in that it concentrates on efficient ways of doing tasks to speed up learners with shortcut techniques and a focus on 'Get it done' rather than a complete guide to all the features of each application. Every session is based around a real life scenario that has actually happened in my consulting experience. In some of them, real-life people were failing but didn't have to with a little guidance.
Typically writing a letter we spend less time on setting up the document template and more time on typing.
The get it done ethos
- Get typing and keep typing ignoring spelling mistakes
- Proof read and spell check
- Cut and paste paragraphs to improve readability or emphasis.
- Dolly up - Format text and add styles for headings etc.
This often is the opposite to the way that people in the workplace type
- Set up headings etc
- Type - correct-add formatting- type-correct-type- change formatting-move paragraphs.....
- Dolly up
In my experience the former method is much faster is more likely read over properly, has more focus and sometimes even makes more sense.
This course is available for group or individual tuition.
