The IT Training Surgery Reviews

I didn't realise the course was focused on accessible documents for the visually impaired. I think this should be reflected in the title of the course. I learnt a few good tips for writing documents in the future.

The course was well presented but I do not feel it fully met my requirements. There was too much information to retain and I still don't feel confident that I would be able to use Skype.

I'm not the most IT literate person so it takes me a while to get my head around something like Lync or Skype. I get easily thrown if I try something and it doesn't work first time, where as more confident users will fiddle around and try other ways. For me, the training jumped about a bit - but that could be the nature of the system. Anyway, it showed me the range of things that can be done on Lync/Skype and that in itself was very useful.

Pace could have been quicker during morning. Most complex material was (understandably) at the end but felt rushed.

I did learn a few things that i did not know prior to this training. I found the trainer to be very helpful.

I learned some useful tips and shortcuts that can be used in documents I create regularly.

I wasn't quite clear at the beginning what we were aiming to do - I would have preferred a clearer statement. Some bits were too quick for me and others very slow - I would have found more exercises throughout to embed the training and test that I had fully understood. Many thanks

It would have been good to have a clearer introduction to the topic overall and explain why we were looking at the documents. I would be interested to know how we can make more documents other than word more accessible. It was useful to learn how to check the document for accessibility and learnt more about using tabs which was useful. An explanation of tabs over tables wasn't entirely clear. It would also be useful to understand a bit more how documents that haven't been made accessible come across to users with access needs to understand better the benefits of the techniques that were learnt.

I took away new knowledge which will be useful in my creation of documents at HLF. I also learned about participating in a webinar session, which will be useful in my role as a member of the corporate training group.
